A
Perfect Platter - "...vinyl...is hot again...the
Proscenium Black Diamond turntable.... (is) a work of industrial
art..."
Tuesday, December 2, 2008
Walker
Audio's founder Lloyd Walker was quoted in the New York Times in an
article titled "You Say You Want a Revolution (At 33 1/3) about music
lovers rediscovering the joys of vinyl. As a counterpoint to
information about lower end turntables, Lloyd was interviewed about our
turntable and high-end turntables in general, he says,
"Our turntable (is) far from being the most expensive,” said Lloyd Walker of
Walker Audio in Audubon, Pa., who handcrafts the company’s Proscenium
Black Diamond turntable. “They go up to a quarter of a million.”
The article continues:
Mr. Walker said, you get 250
pounds of turntable with a platter and tone arm that float on a nearly
frictionless cushion of air. And Mr. Walker comes to your listening room
to tweak every setting for optimum performance. “Setup is extremely
important,” he said. Click web

Turntable price subject to change.

BUYER'S
GUIDE '09
Proscenium
Black Diamond Turntable and Tonearm
"For
a decade-and-a-half, Lloyd Walker and his partner Fred Law have been
building and improving the best turntable that (in JV's opinion) money can
buy... a work of audio art that not only looks fantastic but sounds
fantastic too. There simply isn't an area of weakness in the Walker's
sonic portfolio; it does it all - timbre, texture, dynamics, bass,
resolution, soundstaging, imaging, air, bloom, transparency to source, you
name it - better than anything else, analog or digital...the Walker Black
Diamond is one of the small handful of products that you will never hanker
to "upgrade", because (unless Walker and Law come up with
something new) there is currently nothing better to upgrade
to."

Recommendation."

"..If
you are especially interested in detail and
Silent

an ease, detail without pain and an unassuming naturalness that is very

what I'm hearing with the Silent Source Music Reference...Highly
Recommended."

Walker Audio products previously awarded the Brutus honor remained
undefeated in their categories:
Proscenium
Black Diamond Turntable

turntable heap this year....We'll see is anyone is courageous enough to
take up the challenge in 2008."

"...continues
its reign as king of that particular mountain."

to rule its product roost undisturbed."

Robinson, Positive Feedback, Issue 31
Prelude
and Talisman Combination
Receive "Very Highest
Recommendation"
"Don't
assume that you can get by with one or the other all by itself...Prelude gets the noise floor, resolution and clarity right; the Talisman
removes a kind of grunge or muzziness …that vague haze…that LPs can
develop. I
wouldn't want the one without the other; the combination of excellencies
is addicting to anyone who treasures their vinyl.

Keith
Jarrett, world -renown musician, discovered our Prelude Record Cleaning
Kit, Ultra Vivid CD/DVD Enhancer and Talisman Magnetic Treatment for LPs
and CDs and says,
"Absolutely
spectacular...These
products - Prelude, Ultra Vivid and Talisman - retrieve more information
from your LPs, CDs, and DVDs than you will have ever heard or thought
possible....
A
mind-bogglingly accurate representation of the music as it sounded when
it was recorded."
We
have developed a new version of our very popular Velocitor Power Line
Enhancer. The new SS version will be introduced very soon. It will
feature new electronics wired with Silent Source power wiring, a special
custom Silent Source IECs, pure copper direct silverplated special
outlets and much more including a new case.
The
newest iteration of our very popular High Definition Links. These
are unique, ultra-fast high frequency filter networks that use special
proprietary high-speed, nude components to remove RFI, EMI and
distortion from the music signal. Freed of noise and distortion,
your speakers will reproduce the music you want to hear with much more
clarity, dynamics, transparency, focus, speed and soundstaging.
You will hear more information without grit or glare.
Vess
and Lloyd relax and listen to the system.
