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.)

Okay Rush, we get it. You love the the Walker arm and tt. Now you need to run a finaciial seminar.
1. How to pay for the walker with your home equity without telling your wife.
2. How to deduct it from your taxes.

Given the way pensions are disappearing it might a good idea to cash out now.

Hah! You're right, Gregadd, I love the turntable. I wish I did have the magic financial answer...

FYI, the TT itself is $40k. This includes set up by Lloyd or one of his associates.

Also, during Summer months, if not air conditioned, you can expect to check for accumulated condensation once or tiwce per season.

Actually, the new compressor Lloyd is using in much better in the condensation area. In addition, it's very easy to examine the contents of the condensate bottle and empty it. I have had my Proscenium since April 1st and have only emptied the bottle a couple of times.

The price of the turntable gets you both Lloyd and Fred for the setup as it is a two person job. It's money well spent in my book as they don't leave your listening room until they are sure the table is set up to THEIR satisfaction. Now - that's customer service!
