Walker Audio Proscenium Turntable: Photo Essay


For those with an interest in such things, the Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature turntable is the subject of a extended photo essay at Positive Feedback Online. Editor David Robinson took detailed photos of the turntable as it was being assembled and installed by Lloyd Walker and Fred Law at Robinson's home and he has now published those photos, with his comments, at the web site.

If you've ever wondered about what's "under the covers" of this turntable, here's the closest you can come without actually being present while one is set up. (Robinson also publishes his review of the Walker Proscenium at the end of the photo essay.)

I remind myself that envy and jealousy serve no purpose. I hope Rushton and Albert continue to push the analogue envelope in the new year. As I have already posted the Austrailians have produced an $85K turntable which was reviewed by Michael Fremer in the January Sterophile. Any takers?
Great read and photo essay! Thanks for the link, it really gives great insight into what goes into the entire 'table system. Kudos to PFO and Dave for publishing this.
Wouldn't it be funny if a DIY LENCO TT would blow this away in sonics and performance?? It is a giant killer as many have said. I wish I'm a DIY guy--Looks more satisfying. For the meantime I just have to settle with my VPI TT.
All that brass and gold, yech!

Did I dream up the fact that Mr. Porter ordered his sans gold?

Impressive component, but why the nouveau riche gold?
The Walker phono amd linestage list at $12.5K each and the MD cartridge is $5K.
Hope that helps-Rushton/Albert Happy New Year!
