Walker Audio is a prestigious American ultra-high-end audio equipment manufacturer founded by Lloyd Walker in Audubon, Pennsylvania, specializing in creating some of the world's finest turntables and audiophile accessories. Founded after Lloyd Walker's decorated military service in Vietnam (Bronze Star, Purple Heart) and subsequent work as a pipe fitter, the company began in a garage when Lloyd partnered with Fred Law to build what he envisioned as 'the best turntable in the world.' Over 26 years, this vision materialized into the legendary Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond Mk VI Master Reference turntable, widely regarded by industry experts as the greatest turntable ever created. Operating from 1139 Thrush Lane, Audubon, PA 19403, Walker Audio has accumulated over 100 industry awards from prestigious publications including The Absolute Sound, Positive Feedback Online, Perfect Vision, and 6Moons, with virtually every product receiving recognition. The company's flagship Proscenium series ($105,000) has achieved cult status among audio journalists and industry experts since its introduction twenty years ago, while the more accessible Procession turntable ($45,000) represents the world's first turntable with remote-controlled VTA/stylus rake angle adjustment. Following founder Lloyd Walker's passing on March 15, 2022, at age 78 after a battle with leukemia, the company's future remains under the stewardship of his widow Felicia Walker, maintaining Walker Audio's unwavering commitment to sparing no expense or effort in creating the ultimate audiophile equipment for serious collectors who prioritize absolute sound quality over price considerations.
