A Wonderful Evening of Listening – Thank You, Everyone

It truly takes a village to make music come alive, and we are so grateful to everyone who attended our Nuts About Hi-Fi Listening Party.

A special thank you to Jim White and Brent Henley from Aesthetix for demonstrating your truly amazing audio components. We also want to thank Amy Hansen from Nordost for her expertise in making these listening parties fun, engaging, and informative, not to mention her talent for putting together some pretty amazing playlists.

Sanjay and Chris from Focal Naim, Dan McMillan from JL Audio, Sam Baum from Marantz, and Walter Bell from Mountain West Distributors, you are all the best home audio ambassadors we could possibly ask for.

The artwork from Cory Anderson and the food from Kevin at the Yacht Club Broiler also helped make this event a fun success.

Most importantly, I want to thank all of our wonderful customers for attending, for understanding how important music is in life, and for allowing us to help you enjoy it.

Best,
Jim Lee

Aesthetix Pallene + Dion Arrive: Immediate Upgrade in Sound

Hi folks,

We have an exciting system update to share!

Yesterday, Justyn installed our first set of the new Aesthetix Pallene and Dion components. Our valued customers, who ordered these a couple of months ago, noted a significant improvement over the Marantz Model 50 integrated amp we were using as a placeholder. I will be meeting with them later this evening and look forward to hearing more about their experience.

Here is a recent review from Absolute Sound Magazine.

A Nice Testimonial For Us and the Focal Clear MG Headphones

A very thoughtful note from one of our fellow music loving customers…

I am writing to share my experience with Nuts About Hi-Fi and express my sincere gratitude. For a while, my focus on acquiring the perfect audio equipment overshadowed my enjoyment of music, but my visits to your shop helped me rediscover the true essence of Hi-Fi.

I first visited Nuts About Hi-Fi as a college student about five years ago. I was immediately impressed by your store’s selection and your clear passion for Hi-Fi. You kindly allowed me to audition several headphones, and the Focal Clear MGs immediately stood out. Their soundstage, clarity, and rich bass were exceptional, allowing me to get lost in the music. I knew then that I wanted a pair.

My second visit a few years later reaffirmed my desire for the Focal Clear MGs. I appreciated how they allowed me to simply enjoy the music without overthinking technical perfection. Our conversations about music and Hi-Fi further enhanced the experience. My most recent visit this summer was to finally purchase them. This time, I brought my own headphones for comparison, which confirmed that the Focal Clear MGs were the right choice for me.

Beyond the excellent equipment, what I truly value is the experience you provide. During each visit, you engaged with me, shared your insights, and offered recommendations based on my preferences. You created an environment where I could genuinely explore and enjoy the equipment. It felt like chatting with a friend about a shared passion.

Your enthusiasm for Hi-Fi and your commitment to helping customers like me appreciate music have been truly inspiring. Thank you for guiding me back to the joy of high-fidelity music.

High and Mighty: Our Team’s Expert TV Installation

I wanted to share a photo Eli sent me of an impressive installation our team completed yesterday. Eli, Justyn, and Erik successfully installed a 125lb, 100-inch flat screen 25 feet from the floor for a new restaurant opening soon on the Bremerton waterfront.

We often receive requests for challenging installations, and this project was a perfect example of our team’s expertise.

I sometimes forget to mention on this blog that Nuts About Hi Fi sells and installs flat-screen TVs. As a member of ProSource, a premier buying group, we have access to the top three flat-screen brands in the country. This membership also allows us to remain price competitive with big box stores and online sellers.

If you need a TV and want it installed properly, please give us a call.

Another Vicoustic Transformation

I wanted to share some photos of a recent Vicoustic cinema premium panel installation that Eli and Erik completed last week for a customer on Bainbridge Island.

I called the customer the following morning to get his thoughts, and he was very pleased with the new look. More importantly, he and his wife are thrilled with how the room now allows them to hear every nuance of their soundtracks, and it has significantly improved their ability to hear dialogue.
