Discover One Good Ear
“Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole million man's soul an faith…
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game”
-“Sympathy for the Devil” by The Rolling Stones
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." -Confucius
The Importance of Music and Great Sound:
Over the years, I can honestly say that I‘ve had the pleasure of representing and selling some of the finest Home Audio/HiFi brands and products in the industry!
In 1978, I began my journey as a part time employee in what was, at the time, the largest retail chain in Canada; Atlantique Image & Son in Montreal.
Essentially, I’ve been in the industry since the Sony Walkman®️ and VCR’s were first introduced!
Yup, I’m « that old »!
Years later I managed one of the most successful audio shops in Quebec; La Boutique Electronique until 1999.
I then moved to Toronto, where I was given the opportunity to work a sales representative for various audio companies; a new journey which began in 2001.
Whether you are a manufacturer or distributor of audio products looking for representation in Canada, or a consumer looking for information on HiFi products; I hope this website answers your questions!
In case it doesn't, please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to assist you.
With 46 years of experience in the audio, video, home theatre, and home automation industry I should be able to answer questions you may have...
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheers!

Hearing people winning BIG amounts is like music to my One Good Ear! 😝
My Memories are Loaded with Great Music
A (non musical) “Side Note” about me.…
Like many people; music is the link to my past and it brings back memories of the people who taught me the values that are dear to my heart: Honesty, Integrity and Humility. Sadly, many of these “mentors” have passed away.
In their memory, I have put a little section on my website dedicated to some of the people who have marked my “audio journey”…
(People like my dad; Daniel with whom I worked with for 20 years until his untimely death in 1998)
I believe that the future of the Audio/Video industry is in stores that think outside the proverbial “box”…
Retailers such as:
- EQ audio video
- Kennedy HiFi
- Québec Acoustique
- T2H
- Studio Economik
Stores that are willing to try something new and different from what you may find in “big box stores”…or on Amazon!
I strongly believe in customer service and these stores are perfect examples of people with good
product knowledge and that provide a great customer experience.

Music has always been a big part of my life…
I figured I would share my passion for the source material with pics of various albums that mean a lot to me.
Grab a glass 🥃 and follow the Yellow Brick Road down my memory lane!
Cheers 🥂!
A Word About My Job...
What is a "Brand Ambassador"/sales representative or agent?
- I do not sell directly to end users; I am, however, available to assist anyone looking for audio products and to guide them toward appropriate products and dependable retailers to the best of my knowledge.
- My goal is to bring dedicated and passionate representation to manufacturers, and resellers.
- A large part of my job is to educate and inform consumers along with store employees on the various products and technologies currently available or on the horizon.
- In short; I’m here to help!
Quentin Jerome Tarantino seems to also enjoy One Good Ear! 😝
(which is great because I am a HUGE fan of his work!)
Why is it Only ONE Good Ear?
-My wife would argue that it should be "NO Good Ear" because I don’t listen! (apparently!) 😂
-I humbly acknowledge that there are many people with better hearing than I have…Especially after 40+ years of critically listening to music!
-I am very passionate about the work that I do and have always taken pride in the brands that I represe

-I am very passionate about the work that I do and have always taken pride in the brands that I represent...Sort of the way my favourite artist, Vincent Van Gogh, felt towards his paintings!
Sadly, most people only seem to know Van Gogh as "the guy who cut off his ear"
One Good Ear...
Could simply be the tinnitus in my right ear! 😆
LIFE is MUSICAL!
"When Words fail, Music speaks"
-William Shakespeare
"Music Expresses that which cannot be put into words"
-Victor Hugo
"Music is LIFE. That is why our HEARTS have BEATS! "
Putting on a LAB COAT doesn't make you smarter... but at least it gives the illusion that you know what you're talking about!
I try to attend as many HiFi shows as I can...
from CES in Vegas, to Axpona in Chicago, The HiFi show in München to the Montreal & Toronto Audiifests.
...and visit as many audio factories as we can… Wherever we may be!
Simplifying Things.…
As I get older, perhaps “wiser”, I am reducing the number of brands that I represent to focus on products & brands that I truly like!
The same could be said of the number of stores that I deal with!
« Less is More » is not just a catchy slogan for me; it has become a business model!
ONE GOOD EAR is Proudly CANADIAN!
