SP or no SP, if your Volvere has an outboard box between the wall socket and the motor, and if the box provides for any sort of speed adjustment, there is no use for the Walker. The box is controlling motor speed.

Yep. If the OP has this: http://www.avidhifi.com/turntable_volvere.htm Then there's no need for the Walker. In fact, you would not want to place any device between the Volvere outboard box and the wall socket. |
As to the compatibility of the Walker with the Avid Volvere, it suddenly occurred to me that the Volvere may come equipped with its own outboard speed control box, if my own memory of the Volvere is correct. I don't know what's inside, but that outboard box may render the Walker redundant; you would fine tune the speed using the Volvere box. In that case, it would not be wise to mess with the AC input to the Volvere proper. |
dob, The OP has an Avid turntable and wants to know whether the Walker Precision Motor Controller can run it. I don't think he is in the market for a Walker turntable, or etc. Why do you warn against buying used? I owned a Walker Precision Motor Controller that I bought off Audiogon and used for more than 10 years and never had the slightest problem with it. Lloyd was always helpful if I ever had questions, regardless of the fact that I was the second owner. (In fact, he and I became friends over time. I first contacted him about an upgrade that he had introduced, and he was very cooperative about getting my unit upgraded, again despite the fact that I was not the first owner. He's a great guy.) On two different belt-drive turntables that I owned, it made a world of positive difference, and I would not have lived without it, once I heard its effect. |
