Sirius and Walker




Hi Folks:

I have first hand experience with the Walker turntable and, to this day, it's the finest I have ever heard. Can anyone compare the sound of the Walker with the Rockport with the same material? I'm very interested.

Thanks as always.

Jonathan Tinn should be declaring his interest as a manufacturer when passing comment on turntable performance. Reading his profile and system it is clear he makes subjective comments on competing products performance without declaring his interest.
By contrast J Carr when commenting on cartridges restricts himself to design aspects and does not tend to make comment on overall performance.
My advice to you all is to ignore JTinn comments as it is biased and certainly I wouldn't take advice from one who designs turntables that cannot be transported without damaging the main bearing and goes on to present a faulty turntable as a state of the art product as he did with the NVS.
Lewm, agree somethings afoot, big communication breakdown here. Nobody wins.
Jtinn,
As you have acknowledged we are all biased in some way or another. Context is important in trying to understand the views that people put forward. In your system you have made the following statement
"The Wave Kinetics NVS Direct Drive Turntable is absolutely in a league of it's own. Having a great deal of experience with the likes of the Rockport Sirius III, Continuum, SME 30, Forsell Reference, Grand Prix Audio Monaco, VPI HRX, Nottingham Hyperspace, Basis Debut, Lodo Audio The Beat, Kuzma Stabi XL, Vyger Indian Signature, Walker Proscenium and many others, this turntable is truly unique. It is immediately noticeable. "
I have been given to understand that you are the manufacturer of the NVS. If you are then that should be stated to give context around your statements on turntables. This does not mean what you say is true or not, it merely provides context for readers of your observations and posts.
If you are not the manufacturer of the NVS, then I have been misinformed and would be happy to retract my comments.
Raul - no I didn't know who Jtinn was, I dont live in the US and yes when you read the comments on turntables in his system where he states the NVS is better than ...., there is no disclosure of his commercial interest in NVS.
