"...absolutely indispensable to me. The sonic qualities that set (them) apart are the detail, quickness and sense of spaciousness that they impart to components placed on them..."

Audio Reviews Oct. 2006

" When you have been dabbling in hi-end audio for almost 30 years, you'd think that instances of unexpected surprises might dwindle to few and far between. Well, this was one of the few. The Prologue is spectacular and quite unexpectedly so.

Prologue Equipment Rack  

It alters neither harmonics nor tonal qualities. The wonderful intrinsic qualities of the darTZ remain. What the support does in one fell swoop is to take each of the elements which were present and coalesce them....I am talking conceptually here. In addition, the Prologue took the already superb darTZeel soundstage and made it deeper and wider, with a noticeable increase of clarity and micro dynamics...

The improvement in sound was both immediate and obvious. The soundfield snapped into coherent and uniform focus. From top to bottom, instruments and images were more stable and more tightly focused. 

On Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 [Antal Dorati London Symphony, Mercury], the music starts small before growing in complexity and density. The Prologue allows you to better feel and sense the building of the momentum. The Prologue system doesn't add bass nor change the rich textures but it does add some tautness and definition to the sound, especially noticeable with my other amplifier reference, the VTL S-400 tube amp...

The Prologue is beautiful, musical and effective. Not the least expensive stand on the market, it is far less expensive than a component upgrade - and we're talking about a major sonic upgrade. The improvement in clarity and focus is rather startling. Musicians now seem to be playing as a unified whole, not as the sum of singular instruments. The term cohesiveness pops into my brain every time an amp is placed on the Prologue, yet the character and sonics of the amp remain unchanged...

In the world of insane component pricing and in view of the sonic improvement offered, I consider it an excellent value. Highly recommended."

Editorial Comment 

Positive Feedback Issue 34

" I placed the M1.2s on a pair of Walker Audio's superb Prologue Reference Amplifier Stands. My experience with the Walker stands is that they impart a real quickness, clarity and responsiveness to any amplifiers that are placed on them. I suspected that they would synergize with the Lamms very well - it turned out that they did." David Robinson

 

Customer Email April 2007

"Love the stand. It provides the "umph" I was looking for...An amazing thing happened since the stand went in. Usually, I read a book or a magazine when I play records. Due to the extraordinary (for my modest system) sound coming out of the speakers in the last week, I have been "forced" to just sit and listen, staring at my speakers and not believing what I am hearing... it is stunning..so far you are batting 1000 with what I have bought. I look forward to being a customer for a long time." JB

"The Walker is great for monster amps due to its size and weight bearing capability. And it's a plus that in the Jatoba wood, it look great too, in fact the pictures don't do it justice." Sdatch

 

Customer AudiogoN Posting April 2006

"Once we put them under our amps, my wife and I quickly agreed they were not coming back out.
