looking for some dealers in canada

[jbbm]

hello --

 

it appears there might not be dealers for either musical fidelity or audiophilleo north of the border. after researching this a bit, i'm more or less down to two candidates for a usb to s/pdif converter-reclocker that i'll want to add to my hi-fi kit: the musical fidelity v-link 192 and the audiophilleo 2. even though specs/word-of-mouth is positive for these two units, i'd like to audition them before buying.

 

any canuck haunting these forums know of stores in the ottawa - montréal - kingston "area" that carry these two brands?

 

cheers.

Have you considered the Analog Research Technologies (AR-T) Legato? They are manufacture direct, but I believe have a 30 day return period. Then you can audition it with your setup in your listening room.

 

The Legato is only 16/44. If you need something for high-rez they may have something else for you. Reach out to Pat. I can tell you he is a good guy.

hello & Merry Christmas to all --

 

so, for canuck audiophiles considering one of the following usb to s/pdif converters:

* musical fidelity v-link ii or v-link 192

* m2tech hiface evo

* audiophilleo 2

 

this is what i found:

* there are dealers for m-f & m2tech in the "great white north", but not for the audiophilleo. i'm listing them below.

* not all dealers for m-f know about the v-link 192 (those i talked to think the v-link ii can do 192khz)

* the v-link 192 is not yet available, price "up here" unknown.

 

the dealers i have identified:

 

musical fidelity

* ottawa - the listening room

(http://www.thelisteningroom.ca/)

* toronto - audioexcellence

(http://www.audioexcellence.ca/home/)

* québec - Cora, Inc.

(http://www.corahifi.com/)

* edmonton - Gramophone Inc

(http://www.gramophone.ca/)

 

m2tech

* montréal - filtronique

(http://www.filtronique.com)

* montréal - acoustic tech

(http://www.acoustic-tech.com/)

 

audiophileo

* could not find any "local" dealers

 

i hope this can be of help to others.

 

cheers.

 

p.s.: @Jsmith, re. the AR-T Legato: no, i have not considered this unit, as it does not do hi-def. i swapped my ead dsp-7000mk2 for a moon 300d because of hi-def music; otherwise i would have kept it.
