SoundStage! Global
Tri-Art, which is based in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, keeps on doing some innovative things with bamboo. What’s more, they’re making everything in Canada. [18/22]

Stereophile
I'm going to make a wild guess and suggest that the designer is a Flintstones fan.

Canada Hifi
While making my way from room to room I caught a glimpse of an interesting turntable and rack and just had to make my way into the room.  Inside I found a very unique and exotic bundle of products by Tri-Art Audio.

I find the concrete and bamboo design of the Tri-Art gear both intriguing and appealing. The rig seemed to be better sorted out than what I heard in Toronto last fall, as the music coming from the excellent Rosso Fiorentino Certaldo speakers ($5995) was one of the Best Rooms at the show this year. Possibly this was due to new 50 watt Class D monoblocks...These guys from Avatar Acoustics (who supplied their Mach 4 Power Distributor) and Tri-Art Audio keep getting better and better.

Finally, there was The Pebbles, a turntable from Tri-Art Audio, a relatively new company based in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. ...they’ve fashioned an entire turntable, platter, and tonearm from a material I hadn’t before...

The Pebbles gets high marks for being so damn cool and so reasonably priced: $1200 without cartridge.

Tri Art Audio was back this year looking very slick and polished. Their wooden turntable and arm were simply stunning. The company’s damped concrete approach to resonance control was serving them well.
