walker proscenium

just heard a walker proscenium turntable at lloyd walker's. fantastic it was as if you could hear from in side the music as if you were there. at present i have a vpi hrx with a dynevectoy xv1s cart and thor pre phono. krell evo 202 pre amp krell evo 600 mono amps B&W 800D speakers quality cabling no major high end($). his just blows mine away. my question is it the parts, the whole, the way its set up or what? is it possible that his turntable can make that big of a difference as he says? thanks for you thoughts p.kogan

Ah, it is hard to be without vinyl. Live in anticipation of the wonderful addition coming to your listening room!

Congratulations on the quick sale of your VPI.

BTW, what cartridge have you decided to use with the Walker?

Koegz-
Welcome to the Walker family. I echo the sentiments posted above by Rushton and Robert. Lloyd, Fred and Felicia are great people who produce and stand behind great products. You will never regret this end of the line move.

concidering the prologue rack in jatoba finish, was buying top shelf only but thought i'd go the whole route. i have billy bags now thought the cherry color would go with the 800d's. but is the rack worth the money? 2 weeks down 4 to 6 to go. any advise would help. thanks p.kogan

Koegz, we made the decision to buy the complete rack along with the top shelf and have not regretted doing so. Our thinking was: "this is what Lloyd used as he developed the turntable and as he continues to improve it; it's an integral part of the overall sound he's getting in his room as he's tuned the table and all of its components." Yes, it's a fair amount of expense, but we didn't want to wonder if we've compromised anything by not doing it. It has completely met our expectations of being able to reproduce in our own listening room all that we were hearing from the table in Lloyd's listening room.
