Tube Amp Pricing


I’ve been curious about the costs of tube gear. As far as my layman eyes can see, the components in tube amps look similar. And yet, the pricing is all over the place - $30,000 to $1,000. Is it the amount of engineering that explains the wide differences in cost, the components, or a combination of the two? Just curious

Engineering, components, and place of manufacture will all factor into the cost.

Obviously, it cost much less to engineer and manufacture in China than in the USA.
