Surely yer ol’ Stereophile pal Ted would disagree, no?! LOL
And c’mon, Marc, just look at that BASE! And that BELT! Plus, their tonearm and spindle are "stiffer than carbon fiber"! (As am I, just reading that…)
As you well know, I simply adore the "pervy horniness" of this type of advertising copy, regardless of the product being hawked! And I really couldn’t be close friends with anyone who doesn’t recognize in it the very essence of Capitalist Seduction, not to mention the very heart and soul of Our Huckster Nation.
Of course I’m sure it REALLY DOES SOUND "AMAZING"! LOL
It had fuckin’ well better, doncha think….
The Walker Proscenium Black Diamond III turntable by Walker Audio:
And who knows, perhaps there truly IS some devastating fragment of James Williamson guitar shrapnel lurking down toward the bottom of those deliciously chaotic RAW POWER grooves that we have never accessed, in all our decades of trying, and that would result in spontaneous orgasm for an entire generation of Punk Rock-lovin’ dudes ‘n’ dames!
More likely though, this $90K Walker "Lamborghini of Turntables" can only provide such revelations by extracting obscure "deep-groove" information from Alan Parsons Project Mobile Fidelity Half-Speed Master pressings, or, at best, 220 gram versions of WISH YOU WERE HERE and PET SOUNDS!
We’ll just have to muddle through with our meager $1000 turntables, I suppose. Ah, the "sacrifices" one makes for failing to be rich and famous!
Yours in both Audiophilia AND Stooges worship,

DAMN DUDE!!!! LMAO But will it make the greatness of listening to, say, "Death Trip", any more rewarding than what our better than average stereos can presently do? NO EFFING WAY!!
