Apologies folks. I saw an oversight that I had not seen as I was being kept busy ( and thanks btw ). But when I did see it, it was corrected. You see, Roger can understand English but knowing English grammar is a bit foreign to him. Why on occasion Lucter gets blamed for his grammar. I do make mistakes on occasion. Sorry for the above story folks.
I continue to buy new audio and or line ups. Despite hearing many audio shops worldwide that are in turmoil, I wonder why we continue to be more on the busy side. Good I say !!! Your SPI continues to possess much by way of inventory. SPI still has a lot of gear. I did not expect how busy you folks would keep us so busy. Investing shall continue onward. I’ll continue to purchase and add with my inventory, and my commercial operation continues to be self-sufficient as well as self-financing. I own everything you see. Refreshing I say!
In the short coming months, I will be adding more inventory still. One thing for certain, I will add more NU PRIME. I’ve said it before and I still think the same way about this line up, I continue to be impressed. NP is a company that continues to give much byway of musicality. I keep hearing detail that have been kept behind the veil, but not with NP. Their streamers continue to impress , and add a no fuss, no muss connecting protocol, well when one adds an over reaching sense of musicality. this becomes a winner in my eyes.
I am seeing some market changes re: streamers. Much change actually. I wish I could say all of it good, but I would be lying. Some of the news is less good. Some of my line ups are being affected by this change.
Your SPI , continues to have more Linn inventory than most Canadian dealers. What makes this odd, is the official Ottawa Linn dealer has very little Linn. Add to that, the extraordinarily high amounts of LINN LP 12 parts and full LP 12’s in my possession, well, I can service most Linn needs without glitch. Not forever, but a good while yet. Much of what I am saying here, in terms of purchasing cycle, will most likely drag out into late April, perhaps early May.
Anything American that I sell, is being affecting by the Trump tariff. I await news on this front. News that changes day to day. Further, I’m not sure what to make of what seems our new version of WW 3, The world seems to be really pissed off. This can affect business in a major way. Add the cost of living levels, the audio world can become part of the wall paper somewhere in the back room somewhere.
No surprise-folks. I’ll see you folks sometime in early April on this web site, take care. Cheers, Luc

Better late than never. I have finished off burning in our Nu Prime gear. We have much by way of back up stock. I am late to the Bryston burning party. Burn in will begin end of this February. The Davis system speakers that are quite unique in design, are still burning in, but more or less, I am closer to the end of the process. I find these very musical despite these not being not fully there yet.
Lastly, make sure you touch base with me if something interests you in our Clearance page. More stuff ill be added… and many prices will be reduced.
Thanks, once again folks.
February 2026
I am about to receive the last Bryston components. It took a while which is now standard ordering time/delay with everybody. So, burn in will begin next week as we enter this 2nd month. I will also be, and am actually, looking at more gear.
It is busy at this time, other than the fact were being hit with record breaking cold temperatures. This being said, it is still on the busy side. Expect short delay times where my responses are concerned. Roger and I will also be uploading new pics of quite a lot of new gear. I am very impressed with our new lines of Nu Prime. It’s this line that is grabbing my attention. Specifically, the NP level 9 line up, are all stunners. I will be burning in some more level 9 gear. Just a lot to do, so no worries, that will be all I have time for, serving my clients and burning in more gear that I can shake a stick at folks.
More news at the end of the month. Some may be getting ready for the Montreal audio fest in March. I may be there or not ;-). Take care guys!

Hello folks, we’ve had this key before. This key will have less brand focus and be more generalist in approaching daily subject matter. Of note, is the information within this content page, that will or may affect us in the near future.
I have increased adding quite a substantial array of gear since 06/25. This alludes to an important level of investing our company at this time. One thing we’ve noticed is, that receiving new gear ( after we ordered it ) , takes much longer than in previous times. The last Bryston component, should be received in about 3 to 4 weeks’ time. I’m looking forward in receiving this. None of our new Bryston has been taken out of the boxes yet. So there is an effect for sure.
Several facts were noticed in November/December. These are not pretty and I would hope that these will not happen. Just the wait times to get your ordered gear is enough of a challenge. This is the page to consult if your doing business with us.
Lastly, you folks are keeping us very busy, a surprise in fact. I’ve given a wider time slot in terms of reaching out to us here. Good news. One last point, our Analogue page and services are being rewritten.
Take care. I will return as I have more news to give our guys.
