| Stratospheric audio gear prices If nobody bought the stuff, they wouldn't make it or they would go out of business.These are low volume niche products, some pricing elevation because of the look of the materials that have nothing to do with sound.Also for some, there is snob app... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 $500.....nah | |
| Mat for Rega P10 Even more hyperbole than MC.....although a different type. MC believes it, I can't see how this guy does. He is trolling.If you read the note from @gbmcloud, he said he used the mat on the "lowly P3". How can you say anything is worth $10K when u... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 If I remember correctly, that also had to be glued to the platter, which is what I was originally trying to avoid. If I was going to tape or glue something down, I might as well keep the Rega mat. | |
| Mat for Rega P10 @guy-incognito you are joking, right, $10K component upgrade for $650 in a mat?$$ spent on a P8 is not “blown”. IMHO it is the best value at its price point be a lot. The arm alone is almost worth the price. It is fantastic.too bad my Washi mat ke... | |

| Uber expensive repair at United Radio @jdoris - all anyone needs to look at is what is the cost of the repair and what options you have. If someone has not idea how long it will take to do a repair or won't give me a tight (do not exceed) range, I won't use him. There is a market for ... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @clearthinker - It was revived a while before that, but of course the smaller the venue, the better.I went to Fagen's book signing (interesting book) a few years back and he wasn't the warmest and fuzziest when he was leaving. I asked him if he'd ... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio @jdoris - to equate high end electronic repair rates with electricians is hysterical. It’s based on specialization - the rarer the service, the more it costs. No disrespect to electricians, but there are tons of them everywhere.high end audio rep... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @clearthinker - I didn’t mean to imply Donald Fagen is no longer with us. He is the man.As I mentioned, I have his 9 year old album, Sunken Condos, which came on clear vinyl (not sure if it is clarity vinyl) but it sure sounds great. I have The Ni... | |
| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. I don’t use Facebook at all, but my son has listed a few non-audio related things on Facebook Marketplace for me with excellent results and the buyers were very nice. They were local and picked up the stuff, which I guess is a big help. I guess Fa... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @frogman - you know a lot more about this than topic than I do. I had always heard it was a label contract issue. Your explanation/theory makes sense, but I am still keeping it in my Miles albums alphabetically and his rotation, and even though th... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @petg60 - is that still available? My brother in law has a 4 sided 45 of KOB but it’s black vinyl. That’s worth big $$ unopened.@frogman - My mistake. I thought PC and the others were on it. The records sound similar, but it was Miles’ record, but... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 FYI- I started a new mat discussion last week looking for other alternatives because the dirt accumulating on the white part of Herbie’s mat was bothering me and I had to keep taking it off and wiping it down, so I thought maybe the static issues ... |
