AI debate about Peter Walkers greatest contribution to audio

This week’s podcast features a debate between AI protagonists about one of my Hi-Fi heroes, Peter Walker, founder of QUAD.

Peter Walker is responsible for a range of major innovations in audio equipment design. In this week’s debate, the protagonists consider the relative merits of Walker’s contributions, specifically whether his contributions to electrostatic loudspeakers outweigh the contribution of his various radical amplifier circuit designs.

As Peter Walker was a keen musician as well as engineer, who favoured classical music, we have chosen more from Handel’s Water Music to accompany this podcast, performed by The Jean-Francois Paillard Chamber Orchestra, in a recording from 1961, available from the Internet Archive under a Usage Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Creative Commons Licence.
