| Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones Nobody has addressed the more important question I raised. Does the malleability of carbon fiber which enables it to be molded into round or rounded cabinets improve the sound of speakers? Of course room acoustics make a huge difference in achieva... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? That’s why some of the bigger manufacturers can offer better value in many cases, like KEF, Technics, Ortofon, Rega among others. So long as a high level of QA is in place these are well worth considering, except their very low volume models. | |

| Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones Sorry for the typo. Is it simply the characteristics of the material? | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? It is called a halo effect. It creates buzz and if successful, increases sales of their lower end lines. A loss leader, unless maybe it is a tiny company hoping for a couple home runs. Rega makes a $40K turntable and KEF makes $230K speakers. Te... | |

| Mat for Rega P10 I didn't realize the P10 has a different mat than the P8. Maybe the P10 platter is thicker. I got the P8 close to when it first came out and the P10 was still a confirmed rumor (so I never saw one) with no release date in sight. Rega sells other c... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 Wow - they went up a lot! I paid under $300 (they had a 10% discount in an accessory sale when I bought it.) Maybe the P10 has a different mat height, but mine is 2mm, and a 1 mm difference is not a big deal since record thicknesses can vary by mo... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 @smatsui - just thought you might like it better and give it a shot. Herbie’s ended up being my 2nd choice and I did have it for a while. |
