About Us (and why we do this)

It all starts with D.I.Y...

My name is Andrew Drouin, I am a Microsoft Certified software and CompTIA certified PC hardware computer technician who has worked professionally in the IT field for nearly thirty years.  My home-base is Penticton British Columbia, in the beautiful Okanagan Valley; an amazing area featuring some 186 wineries (!) and countless outdoor recreation opportunities.  My outdoor love is found in mountain-biking and trail-building / trail-maintenance.

I've been a tinkerer of audio kit since I was a teenager, and now years later / pushing 60, found myself with several vintage loudspeaker units that required servicing.  My collection of KEF and other classic UK loudspeakers sported tweeter drivers that did not function correctly, and a bit of research informed me that ferrofluid, or more accurately, dysfunctional ferrofluid, was the cause of these drivers failing to reproduce sound with any substantial volume.

Color me surprised to learn that Canadian-stocked loudspeaker-grade ferrofluid products were non-existent.  If one wanted the specific type of ferrofluid used in loudspeaker repair, the only option was to order online from American or European sources - and pay absurd prices for shipping.  Factoring in our weak Canadian dollar vs. US and European currencies, and those seeking loudspeaker-grade ferrofluid products were looking at between $50 - $60 CAD per 100ul of ferrofluid, shipped to their door!

Feeling that someone should do something about this ridiculous lack of affordable access to a common DIY product, but not finding a lineup of folks wishing to take on the task ~ here I am...  Our ferrofluid kit prices are hands-down the best available anywhere on the Internet and our current selection of top-line Ferrotec-brand fluids are second to none in the industry.  We're beginning operation of our supply service by stocking tweeter-viscosity ferrofluid and will soon be adding midrange and woofer-viscosity ferrofluids.
