I've done better!

Put your self in a hifi mfr's shoes, your interested in the maximum performance possible, you buy parts in huge quantities, would you short on the design of your expensive amplifiers by putting on an inferior AC cord? NO you don't, you use the connectors and hardware that looks like what is expected given the cost.

I have spoken with several directly on that matter and find a different answer than your assumption. I wouldn't use the term "short on the design" either. What Jud Barber, Luke Manley and Ole have said is they don't see the need to add cost to their products only for those who wish it. My forte is inventory management and stocking expensive power cables merely adds disproportionately to the overall cost. My GamuT CD-1 came delivered without a cord altogether. A basic, UL approved one would have been provided free upon request, but most users don't go that route. Using your logic, why don't amplifier and/or speaker manufacturers provide interconnects and speaker cabling? You certainly can't use the speaker without cables! What speaker wire do you include with purchase price with your designs?
