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.
