"the
Mark III HDLs...are astounding!!!
It's
like the music is right there in the room with me and, of course, there
is absolutely no background hiss or other sign of RF interference.
I knew they were for real when my first response after installing them
and putting on a SACD was to jump up and turn the volume on my stereo
down from its normal level.
And
it's not just the fact that the music comes through more clearly and
cleanly. The Mark IIIs are obviously doing something I haven't
been able to put my finger on yet, but it's like my stereo system just
went up several notches in cost/quality, i.e., the realism I'm hearing
is unlike anything I've heard from any other system. And my
friends are all audiophiles with stereos that cost as much as my house
and yet I feel I could put my system up against theirs today and come
away with first prize. Seriously..." SW

"Just
installed ref. HDL's on my Infinity RS1b's (needed two sets) and must
say they are one of the most dramatic improvements in quite some time
(up there with component upgrade!)...REALLY IS WORTH IT!!!"

"I
am using the Walker HDL Reference links on my Watt's with excellent
results. Lloyd Walker And his line of products are wonderful tools for
us all." Johnjbarlow

"I
installed a set of Walker Reference HDLs on my Dunlavy Cantatas about
two months ago--the speakers are biwired, so it took four HDLs.
According to Walker, these gizmos are supposed to suck up RFI before it
gets to your speakers and thereby clean up the sound. Now, I live in
Park City UT, where I assume we don't have the RFI found in more urban
locales, but thanks to the 2002 Winter Olympics, we have plenty of cell
towers. So I was a bit skeptical about what this 'tweak' might do for my
system, but since they have a 30 day trial period...and yes, I have two
isolated lines for my system plus a power regenerator to clean up the
AC.
"I
have my Comcast Tuner hooked into my system for background music--sounds
pretty good but certainly not the type of output that will glue me to my
couch like a good vinyl recording pumped through my analog rig. I had
the cable music running while I unpacked the HDLs and read the
instructions. Muted the amp while installing same, then fired it back up
still pumping out cable tunes. Thirty minutes later, I realized I was
glued to my couch listening to cable!
"This
HDL tweak was simply one of the most awesome and immediately obvious
improvements in my audio system in over 30 years of upgrading and
tweaking. It is not a tweak; it is a major upgrade!
"Everything
Lloyd says about these gems is true and then some. Much better
harmonics, total removal of grain, wider, deeper sound stage, etc. And,
of course, with decent input from my analog or digital front ends the
improvement was even greater. I am simply blown away with how much more
real, more live, more dynamic my system sounds now. I can't recommend
this product highly enough." Jack65

"...the
Walker Audio HDLs definitely do work. Several members of our local audio
group have tried them in their systems, and not one has been willing to
take them out again." Rushton
"I
have the Reference HDLs on my Magnepans. They act to filter RFI, with
the result being the elimination of "hash" in the upper
frequencies. Treble information is more natural sounding, soundstage
width and depth seems greater. I didn't realize before that I had
"hash", but it sure does sound better without it/with the HDLs
in." Slipknot1
"The
man who designed my speakers...brought out his spectrum analyzer...The
treble was noticeably smoother on the analyzer with the links in place,
which might explain why I felt they seems to slightly lessen the high
frequency "hash"...a tweak that works...." Rcprince
"They
definitely work as advertised...Upper frequencies are more natural with
less glare...his new Ultra Vivid for CDs and DVDs also works as
advertised..." Earflappin

"I
just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the Reference HDLs!...They
have literally opened up my system and have brought my listening
enjoyment to new
levels. Listening is more relaxing...
Soundstaging
width has increased dramatically, while vocalists and musicians
really stand out! Transients seem quicker, while bass is deeper and
tighter. I also notice that I do not have to turn up the volume
level as high since the HDLs increase the perceived volume levels because
they are reducing the interferences such that more music
emerges. The addition of the Reference HDLs seem more like a component
upgrade than a "tweek"... I am very impressed! Keep up the
good work. "GK

"First
I have to say when I opened the box and looked at them (Reference HDLs) I said to myself
$650.00 for these they did not look like much. So then I hooked them up with
your silver jumpers and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how they work but man o
man what an awesome improvement.
I
am hearing things I have never heard before in cd's I Iisten to all the time.
I was looking to buy a new pair speakers but now with the
HDL's I don't need too. The HDL's are an AWESOME product.
So
after I have had them hooked up for 2 weeks now I ask myself how can you
sell them so cheap?"
