This is a perfect example of "It's never enough". For audiophiles, you will always feel the need to upgrade as far as your budget allows.

This is the first time I see a woman passionate about HiFi audio! Just amazing! And she is not just someone with loads of money who asked somebody to build her a million dollars stereo system, she knows everything in detail, highly impressive! Respect lady!

Wow, I used to live in Ontario and talked to Angie many times about equipment and music and even though I couldn’t afford her really high end equipment she showed me pieces that I could afford and they always sounded excellent I’ll always remember one I walked in and she told me she was breaking in a Set of Focal Grand Utopia speakers for a customer and said I should just go in and have a listen. What a treat and what a perfect audio perfectionist. Thanks Angie

Angie is a gem ... Very nice video and glad you were able to capture this for our community. Thank you!
-
What a treat! I love seeing all this gear in a real home, with records strewn everywhere. This woman is clearly a music lover. Every time she thinks to clean up some of the clutter, she gets sucked into the music coming from her system. And the vintage pieces in mint condition are such a treasure.

I remember Angie back in the eighties when her store was on Queen Street where I bought my Sound Lab A3s. I once visited her "new" location in Richmond Hill years ago. Congrats to her she has done amazingly well.
-
Wow! I am speechless! First of how very nice of Angie to invite and show, demonstrate and talk about her equipment! Very passionate! Would love to listen to all of it! I’m sometimes amazed by my own system that is less than 00000000,1 of what is shown here! Very inspiring! Thanks to both of you for a very good video!!
-
I love her! Thank you for this. As an older woman who is also an audiophile often there are not many like me out there to set an example inviting for younger women into this hobby. She's just wonderful and I'd very much love to have a conversation with her some day.
-
Angie is the best. I've had the pleasure of listening to these systems one Sunday afternoon. That experience really recalibrated my perception of what a high end system should be like. This video should be a reference on how to build an ultra high end system. Well done Angie and Thomas.
-
This is totally different level of audiophile engineering :) Angie is master of the HIFI integration geniuses not just million-dollar sales expert . No wonder she stands highest stage in Canadian HIFI industry for such long time. Very impressive video 👋👋👋👍👍👍

This conversation is a gem. Thank you!
-
I certainly agree with Angie concerning the importance of the pre-amp.
-
Regardless of the gear being cost prohibitive for most…the knowledge base is undeniable. The insight stemming from her years of experience is invaluable.
-
Thomas, excellent job. She is a legend and we'll not see the likes of her again. Wonderful that you asked great questions and let her wax rhapsodic on so much incredible equipment and history.

I've been passionate about high-fidelity audio since 1973. In around 1980, I began pondering.... my next visit to Toronto I will... and he decades passed and then, it happened: this incredible production found its place in my listening room. I'm truly grateful for the effort you and your team invested in creating this masterpiece. I'll definitely be watching it repeatedly; it's truly exceptional, setting it apart from the rest!
-
Awesome content. Thanks for the tour of the spaces and showing us Angie.
-
Unbelievable. This is quite a video. This sweet little old lady owns all this equipment in a 47 year journey? I have no words. Incredible story. Being from Toronto, this makes me proud.
-
Angie and her staff are great. I've been there a few times and was treated so well even though my budget was modest at best.
-
What a treat to experience this tour. Congratulations!
