| Walker prologue amp stands To answer the question of how the Walker amp stands compare to the Mapleshade, although I'm a dealer for both, I have yet to compare the two versions. I look forward to doing so. However, I can say how they differ technically. Pierre makes a point... | |
| Opinions on Walker High Definition Links In the interest of full disclosure, let me first say that I'm a dealer for Walker Audio. Of course, I chose to take on his line because I believe in him and his work. He is so fanatical that you can virtually expect his stuff to be the best, most ... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? The ASR emmiter is supposed to be last amp you'll ever need and is an integrated. | |
| Crossing over, with Gallo Nucleus reference got my pics up as well now. | |
