# Affordable Audiophile Turntables The Walker Audio Turntable Makes Quality Disc-Spinning Accessible By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-06-29 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walker-audio References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/walker-audio-procession-turntable/38168/) & [walkeraudio](https://walkeraudio.com/procession-turntable/) Walker Audio has come up with a new turntable offering, dubbed the 'Procession' that costs only around $45,000 -- which may seem like a significant hunk of money but is actually far more affordable than the $110,000 Proscenium. While regular turntables may be good enough for most lovers of vinyl, the Procession is designed for those with uber-sensitive years, particular audiophile tastes and very fat wallets. The Procession's highlight is its remote VTA/SRA adjustment system, which allows users to bring the edges of a stylus into an accurate alignment with the walls of the groovers of the record, bringing out the very best of the vinyl without the user having to stoop over the contraption. Walker Audio has created a gem with the Procession, and discerning (and wealthy) audiophiles will surely appreciate it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Affordable Audiophile Turntables:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more affordable turntables with advanced features for audiophiles. - **Remote VTA/SRA Adjustment Systems:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create remote adjustment systems for turntables that enhance user experience. - **Discerning Audiophile Market:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Capitalize on the demand for high-quality audio equipment by creating tailored solutions for discerning audiophiles. ### Where This Applies - **Audio Equipment Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore manufacturing techniques that can lower the cost of high-end audio equipment. - **Technology Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expand product offerings and target affluent customers with premium audiophile equipment. - **Music Streaming Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate premium audio devices with music streaming platforms to enhance the listening experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heavy-Duty Premium Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sl1000res-direct-drive.md) - [Advanced Opulent Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-122.md) - [Chic Cost-Effective Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanto-audio-obi3.md) - [Artistic Affordable Turntable Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uturn-orbit.md) - [Pre-Adjusted Entry-Level Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-e1-turntable.md) - [Budget-Friendly Vinyl Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluance-rt81-turntable.md) - [Premium Customization Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-pro-s-turntable.md) - [Stylishly Textural Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrensilva-loft-tuxedo.md) - [High-Fidelity Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reference-10-turntable.md)
