Power Cables diminishing returns

According to the Audience ads on Audiogon, there is now an SE Powerchord, available as an upgrade for $300, not sure of new costs. I haven't heard it but very much like the E which has seen a nice price decline on Audiogon. Just picked one up for my CD player.

CharlesIdad, I remember reading Einstein in college where he said if some constant or other in the universe was different by one part in a million the law of gravity would not work.
Thus for him it took more faith to believe in a scientific explanation of the universe than an intelligent creator thesis.

$2000 power cord actually has no more than total of $50 material + work. The rest is marketting and brain shower. What is diminishing return of such product?

just like prescription medications which cost six cents a pill to make and sell for $700 for 30...

I wouldn't draw any parallels with power cords, though. According to this article in Forbes research and development expenditures by a dozen major drug producers, from 1997 to 2011, divided by the number of their drugs that were ultimately approved and brought to market ranged from $3.7 to $11.8 billion dollars per approved drug.
