Well one of the more interesting personalities out there. Tell me something what makes him any different tham any cable manf. who sells expensive cabling ? We can take apart any ones cables and find the material cost is small in comparison to retail. Especially when material is bought in bulk.
If the manf. sells to dealers than a 40% or more vig is added. If it goes through a distributor an addtional 20% is added. What gets me is that a DAC, AMP , etc can be bought for the price of an IC or powercord. Something is wrong with that scenario. There is so much more involved in designing and building a component than any cable IMO.
Its all about pricing. If the prices were reasonable and there are some companies doing so then IMO this conversation would be moot.
