Hi all, hopefully this is the right place to post this question.
I was wondering - Amirm have a really good knowledge of electronics. I've read lot's of reviews (but just a fraction of what you guys have read) and sometimes he goes into details of what components are good and what component is poor quality.
By just looking at electronics and map out the parts - is it possible to get a certain sense of what a unit would cost to produce (in material cost)?
I'm guessing there is a lot of things to consider when doing actual cost - like engineering, shipping, marketing, infrastructure and so on.
I do have an hypothesis that during mid industry - electronic age most of the business set goal to produce high volumes at low cost so that it would be affordable for consumers. And typically back in the days a high-end gear price would be around 2000-5000$ dollars.
In todays market the goal is the same to produce high volumes at low cost but sell at highest price as possible towards consumers.
Looking at units now the high-end starts at 10 000 - 15 000$ it seems?
And then you have some deviation companies like toppings who produce high quality for low cost to simple peasants like me.
I know this isn't very scientific and probably not right for this forum.
And if I'm poking into a wasp nest that one shouldn't - please let me know.
