Thank you for this....

LABOR. No one else spoke about this. Far too many naysayers and DIY gents only mention parts costs (or what they believe them to be), NEVER mentioning the labor, i.e. time that goes into building a given product.

And that labor can be all over the map, as many steps are unseen. While $225 per hour billable is quite high in audio circles, I don't doubt that's the case for aerospace. We could certainly agree that $25 to $50 is customary in the audio repair business. Using that as a model, your cable would require $400-$500 in labor alone....and that's at COST, without any reasonable markup for a distributor or dealer.

Thank you again for a thought-provoking and cogent post.
