Well, I do not know much about how they are made, but if you look at components used internally, especially in SUTs, not much are in there compared to amps or preamps. But their prices seem to be too much and are sky rocketing.
$1000 phono preamps or $500 SUTs are pretty common and they are not even at the high ends. They have to be at least double the price to be considered high end in high end audio community.
Are phono preamps or SUTs are so hard to make, or are the components used are so expensive?
Well, when it comes to phono stylus, it becomes much worse. If an average cartridge lasts up to 2000 hours of play time, $1000 cartridge may last only 6 years if you listen to 1 hours of music everyday. Why should that small piece be so expensive?
