Tube Amp Pricing


I’ve been curious about the costs of tube gear. As far as my layman eyes can see, the components in tube amps look similar. And yet, the pricing is all over the place - $30,000 to $1,000. Is it the amount of engineering that explains the wide differences in cost, the components, or a combination of the two? Just curious

There's many way over priced tube amps, just as there's many over priced speakers, cables, dacs, transports...you name it. 
Like much of high-end audio, the price doesn't always reflect the quality and performance. Much of this industry is built around the sucker, and as they say, there's one born every minute.
