At “Montréal Audiofest 2026,” one of Canada’s largest high-end audio events held in Montréal, Canada, from March 20 to 22, 2026, the L’Atelier-Audio (Samuel Furon) exhibition room was selected as “Best Sound of the Show” in the official review by the U.S. audio magazine Stereophile.
Our turntable, the “AP-01,” was featured in the system used in the exhibition room, and it was highly praised for its musical refinement and overall balance.
In Stereophile’s official review, “Atelier Audio Room at Montréal Audiofest 2026” (written by Robert Schryer),
“This room had the Best Sound of the Show for me, hands down.”
This statement effectively designates the room as the best audio room of the event.
The review highly praised not just resolution or impact, but also the naturalness of the tone, the sense of musical presence, and even the reproduction of the atmosphere of the recording space. It highlighted that the focus was on the harmony of the entire system and its musical refinement, rather than on the high price tag.
The main system configuration exhibited in this room is as follows:
Speakers: Voxativ Ampeggio AC-1.9 (2026 edition)
Turntable: AP-01
Amplifier: Voxativ T-211
DAC: Master Fidelity Nadac D
Phono stage: Phasemation EA-1500
Cables: Ocellia
