As an audio beginner, I had a fantastic experience at Layton. I casually showed up during an afternoon and was kindly welcomed by Frank. I asked him a few questions about planar headphones and inquired about trying some headphones. As I learnt, they prefer if customers call in advance and make an appointment, but Frank had the time, so we discussed a bit, picked two headphones and a USB-C DAC, and went to one of the listening rooms. Frank gave me loads of information, never pressuring me to buy. We got a 2nd DAC for me to try after I had decided that the headphones I wanted were the Audeze LCD2-C. After some back & forth, I chose a DAC, asked Frank for a few other accessories and made my first big audio purchase. When getting Frank's advice, I felt like I was talking to a friend's uncle who had known me for 10 years, given the care he took to share his knowledge. After I had chosen the headphones, we even had a great conversation about espresso machines and mechanical watches before I left the store.
After spending some time with the new headphones and DAC at home, I realized I had chosen the right headphones but the wrong DAC! So the next day, I returned to the store, where Frank exchanged the one I originally bought for the one I wanted.
Thanks to Frank and the whole crew at Layton Audio for making me feel welcome as a beginner and introducing me to the world of hi-fi, as it can often be intimidating to step into a new hobby where technical words and acronyms are thrown around like everyone was born knowing them.

Jean Paul is a turn tables maestro! He soldered my SME 3009 Series III wires perfectly within minutes and sold me a great new cartridge. Plays like magic! I'll be back! Thanks!

Denon AH-D2000, Sennheiser HD202, RHA T10i, RHA T20, Shure SE 215, every time the right product for me, they select products, they know them, their qualities and who will love them, and I have never been deceived by Layton Audio since I live in Montréal.
Notice that many of these products are not pricey, some were very affordable, incredible value for money!

Friendly service, but I should have done my homework! … they charged me 19.95 for a simple Apple adapter I could have picked up two blocks away for 10.00. That’s quite the markup!

J'ai acheté un système de son il y a bientôt 20 ans et je retournerais de nouveau à cette boutique. Professionnalisme, patience et honnêteté assurés! Merci d'être là!
