The Clearaudio's sound is about $100K more expensive than the Walker. Just kidding.........sort of. I am very familiar with the Walker sound, somewhat so with the Clearaudio. The CA is on the cool side of neutral. The Walker is on the warm side of neutral. I think the Walker has more in common with the sound of the TW line than it does with the CA camp. Honestly, and I am biased, for $57K, I don't think you can better the Walker by adding more money. It is music. Dynamic. sweet, as good as the software you place on it. And if you want to spend less and still get a straight-line tracking arm, take a look at the Bergmann $20K table. If you can live with a pivoted arm, look at the TW AC or the TW Black Knight. Best of Luck!
