Lloyd Walker's Next Shocker


This week I had the chance to hear a prototype of Walker Audio's newest audio tweak, and I must say that I went from skeptical to startled in about 10 seconds upon hearing it.

FWIW, I am not the kind of guy who buys into teleportation hocus pocus, etc. I'm not a shill for any company or dealer, and although I've been active here for many years, I've rarely posted about any commercially available(or soon to be) tweaks.

As to not get Lloyd angry, I won't give away the details, but just say that for around $50, this will make an improvement in sonics for many vinyl lovers equal to a component upgrade or two! It will take 3 seconds for anyone to install, and will last many years, without refills/recharges/etc.

He says he is still finalizing the design, and will produce it sometime in the next month or two. Perhaps if Lloyd, Fred, or else someone else in the know reads here, they will chime in.
There...now I feel totally cleansed. Cheers,

I now use the VPI delrin tube to give my records a final rinse after a wash with an enzyme fluid and then a cleaning with the Audiodesk. The delrin tube vacuums the RO rinse water w/o suffacant better than the plexiglass tube.
Don,

If your having problems with static use a Zerostat, Mapleshade Antistat or a D'Stat
fjn04,

The delrin tube has only been in use for(2) months now. Perhaps the new velvet strips are responsible. But my observation is that the delrin tube sits flatter on the record. I only use the old tube and housing to vacuum the enzyme fluid that is now use. The new delrin tube and housing is used only for vacuuming RO rinse water that has no suffacant added.
the old tube takes 2 - 2 1/4 turns to remove the enzyme fluid. The delrin tube takes 1 3/4 - 2 turns to remove the RO water w/o suffacant.

- new velvet strips
- delrin is stiffer and sits flatter
- achieved better tube angle (by luck)
- slot is thinner ( just a guess )
- delrin tube is a bit longer

I have never had any real issue with my 16.5 or really having to vacuum more than (2) turns in 26yrs.
