sometimes it's made using parts that require tools that are only sold to repair shops that sign a contract that they will not have the tools copied. Or in the case of an amp company I know. They had a chip of some kind made for them, bought the whole supply Motorola made and put an agreement of a number of years on Motorola to not produce that spec or function chip. That's why that particular $7 chip is $50 and available fe places elsewhere. Spectral amps did that with every chip they used I believe. Then they give you that garbage that only one company's wire should be used with their amps. I buy them out of waranty, for as they are extremely good their attitude disevowes their deserving full retail.
