Bo1972...you have absolutely no idea what it takes to bring an audio product ..say an amplifier... to market. there are so many 'arm chair' quarterbacks in this hobby.
Jazzonthehudson, You know the "five times parts and labor rule?" You are right that there are instances where manufacturers are making a fortune. I well remember when Bill Low brought out Big Red speaker wire. After that wire he made lots of money.
Cables are one of the most passionate topics. I own Nordost Frey series 2 and some better ones. I'm always game for blind study. I've been sent many and these I keep.
In the past I sold many Valhalla powercables only about telling what they do. On the Phone without listening many bought them.
They knew what I said is what it gives. It is about thrust and believe. Many phoned me back to say how happy they were with the cable. And that it gave them what I said.
When you only choose the best cables it is easier to compete against other shops. It is extreme effective. Audio ia about creating a better endresult than another competitors. For me this it the most fun part.
When I do a show I want to be the best. You work more precise and it works.
I am 16 years working in this world. In the last year it goes faster than ever. Because I have convinced many people ( also in this business) that I can create a much higher level in endresult.
Because I put a lot of time in testing many stuff and new systems. Many people are sitting on their fatttt ass. In audio you have many fat people. It says a lot!
You need to focus on all new things in audio all the time!
