Welcome

Welcome to AudioScape Canada!

We are very proud of the unique audio brands that we distribute and hope you share in the quest for great musical reproduction in your home! Each of the brands we have has their own unique story and position in the marketplace, and we hope you take some time and enjoy browsing through the various sections of our website.

Music and audio reproduction is an enormous passion of ours and each of the products we distribute plays an important role towards this goal! Each brand must meet our rigorous standards and be truly special. As Victor Kiam said about a Remington electric shaver…..,” I liked it so much, I bought the company”…….well, in my case, I’m so taken with the brands that i’ve chosen to distribute these special treasures myself!

A tiny bit about me……this is my 37th year in the audio industry and enjoy every minute of it! Music is such an important part of life……. I’m proud that I have played in a semi-professional orchestra for many years and I enjoy dabbling on the bass guitar and drums. There’s no audio equipment I’ve yet heard that replicates the experience of playing on stage with 79 other musicians, but we can try! I try to listen to live and recorded music as often as possible and enjoy re-introducing vinyl to everyone I can! I love seeing the looks on their faces of astonishment when they hear an LP again!

A little bit of bragging about our audio treasures:

The fine tube amplification from PrimaLuna and Mystere are second to none….the build quality, reliability and sonic performance are outstanding! Here’s a photo of the internal wiring on our least expensive amplifier, ProLogue One…….note the well-laid out hand-soldered point to point wiring.

The styling, construction and sonic performance of USHER loudspeakers are magical, musical and rewarding; These are “must listen to” loudspeakers that out-perform others costing three to five times the price, and Usher offers cabinetry, fit and finish that is bold, elegant and sophisticated. Here’s a photo of our Usher BE 20 DMD, diamond tweeter, set up at Montreal’s SSI Show this past March.

Speaker cables, interconnects and AC cords from JPS Labs are best in class and top performers! Reviewed world-wide and respected everywhere. Hand made in New York state, these are products that are “must haves” for great audio systems!

For over 40 years, Nottingham Analog Studio continues to produce their exceptional turntables by hand in the UK and sound marvellous. No need for a power switch, just give the platter a gentle push and the motor takes over perfectly from there! Their long grain carbon fibre tonearms with uni-pivot design are exceptional!

Opus3 Continuo turntables have been manufactured in a small facility in Sweden for the past 24 years with great care and passion, the resulting performance is wonderful. The Cantus linear tracking tonearm is a brilliant design and brings the benefits of linear tracking playback to an affordable level.

And finally, the world-famous and popular DUAL Turntables offer exceptional value and performance. The 82 year history of Dual continues with a nine model turntable line-up, fully automatic functions (sorry, no record stacking) and……the phono cartridge is both pre-mounted and included in the price. For today’s computer / MP3 needs, Dual offers the current “USB Accessory Box” at $99.95 that allows computer connection for any turntable / preamp function and upload your vinyl to your hard drive!

My greetings and thanks to all that visited us during the recent Montreal Salon Son et Image show, your reactions to our collection of audio treasures was rewarding and appreciated!   Here are a few photos that I took at the show.

If you have any questions, please let us know, we’re glad to help!

Until next time, Sound Counts!
