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.)

Hope that helps-Rushton/Albert Happy New Year!
Albert, the Walker phono stage retails for $12,500 sans power cords. And it is excellent.
Tafka_steve, I've had the Walker reference phono in my system two times in the last four years, each time for a week or more. I am well aware of it's performance offering.

Pbb, correct that I ordered my Walker without gold and it was hell to get Lloyd to do it. Seems most of the "gold" is brass and the polishing that occurs when machining to correct tolerances proves all that is needed for an end product, except for a bit of clear coat.

With black, everything must be cleaned and primed and treated with black chrome or powder coat. Lloyd hated the additional steps and vowed to never build another one in all black. I agree with your assessment of how the gold looks and exactly why Lloyd and I battled over finish.

I had the same issue when AJ Conti built the Basis ONLY in gold and black and I fought to have the first totally black Basis Debut "gold."

Same again with Atma-Sphere. When I bought my MA-2 mono-blocks, they were gold faceplate ONLY and I went through hell to get them in all black, but succeeded there as well.

Odd too, as today Atma-Sphere and Basis are both stock (or offered) in black. Maybe someday that will be true for the Walker Proscenium.
Hi Rushton, I sure appreciate your thread .I found it extremely interesting... Mr.Porter,you are a fascinating man.
