Distinctive Audio

Very very pleased with my phono preamp purchase. I was able to try it out over a weekend before deciding but it quickly became a no brainer that this unit gave us a big jump in sound quality. Delivered to me in person (due to pandemic store was closed). Bottomline: my wife and I are very pleased and enjoying our music every night.

Purchased many items from Rheal over the years! Latest was a set of Cardas speaker cables, and as always being allowed to try something in your own system before purchasing, is a tremendous bonus! Shops like Distinctive are hard to come-by today and need to be supported. The knowledge, experience and passion is something I for one truly appreciate and value!!! Thanks Rheal, Your stories are pretty good too!!!

Martin Logan!

Lots of instruments

September 2016I dropped by Distinctive Audio last week and can confirm Rheal is doing very well and his shop has a renewed sense of energy and passion. The store had a new coat of paint, new carpets and some new A/C outlets. Rheal, also looking and sounding refreshed, mentioned he will be hanging some one of a kind, audio related, art onto the walls to make things even nicer...Distinctive Audio will be celebrating its 30th year anniversary this month (1986 - 2016) and I suggest stopping in to see the new digs.Items on display while I was there included:Speakers: Proac, Martin Logan, Wharfedale and Chario.Turntables: Oracle Paris (the new Origine will be in for the re-opening), Clearaudio Concept and Performance DC tables, as well as a beautiful Jean Nantais model.Electronics: Audio Note (Kits), Modwright Instruments, Classe, Prima Luna, Magnum Dynalab, Lyric, PS Audio. Shanling, Audio Space, UnicoCables: Shunyata, TransparentThe Nantais/ Arm? / Cadenza Black > Unico Phono Stage> Modwright LS100 > Modwright KWA 100 > Transparent music wave ultra > Proacs (?) system was playing while I was there and it was very pleasing and fun to listen to...

Très connaisseur. Bon service!

Limited in store selection, a little pricey, but knowledgeable help

Very high end; wish they have a proper listening room; Rheal provides good service.

Très bon service
