A lot of manufacturers are being shy on the 'in depth'. I think it is to not help copycats.
AudioQuest cables are all made in China. I am certain the metal they use is refined in China also
The actual cost to make something is a small percentage of the final cost. So that extra step may cost them less than a penny a foot, but they have a right to make a profit.
Also other companies have similar special wire claims. Kimber has 'Micro pearl'. and it too is a lot more expensive.
