We recently completed another successful installation of the Nordost Sort Fut system.
These were installed on a pair of Focal Maestro Utopia speakers, which are among the heavier models we carry.
We used floor jacks to maintain perfect positioning and the Nordost laser target kit to get these as perfect as possible.
My customer shared in a text that he is “thrilled with the results. It’s almost like a new set of speakers.”
We are now planning to install these on other speaker systems he owns.
I wanted to share a look at the new Marantz Horizon.
The Horizon is a versatile wireless speaker that fits perfectly into various spaces. While it comes standard with a marble base, Marantz also offers an optional pedestal and a wall mount bracket. It delivers a full, impressive sound along with an excellent fit and finish.
The photo above shows the Horizon on a balcony at the home of one of our favorite customers. He mentioned it has become one of his favorite spots to take in the view and enjoy his music.
You can find more details on the Marantz Horizon web page.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of helping a good friend and customer upgrade the sound of a beautiful pair of Focal Sopra 3 tower speakers.
We installed these speakers a couple of weeks ago using the supplied floor spikes provided by Focal. My customer decided to buy a set of Nordost’s Sort Fut.
These devices are used to sense cabinet vibrations generated while playing music. They then extract these vibrations creating a path of least resistance to the surface they are sitting on. An added benefit is they also allow for perfect leveling of the speakers.
I just received these texts from my customer:
“I played a familiar track, (Ernest Raglin’s Ball Of Fire). It has horns and a guitar popping across the sound stage. The instruments are precise as I have ever heard them and I’ve heard them a lot over the years. I am glad I had to wait 2 weeks for the feet. I never would’ve known what they are doing. SImply amazing!”
Yesterday, Justyn and I had the pleasure of upgrading a high-end listening system for a long-time friend and customer in Bellevue.
Martin is a true music lover, and we have collaborated on his system for over 15 years. He recently decided to return to vinyl, so we provided a reference VPI turntable paired with the iconic Aesthetix IO phono preamp.
During the installation, Martin also chose to trade up his Nordost power cables, upgrade his cartridge to a Clearaudio Jubilee, and add a Nordost Odin tonearm cable.
To ensure the best possible performance, I reached out to my mentor, Garth Leerer, who put us in contact with industry-leading vinyl setup expert Ken Bowers. While Justyn and I handled the rack rebuild and remounted the Samsung Frame TV to accommodate the new equipment height, Ken meticulously mounted the cartridge and calibrated the turntable.
Eight hours later, we all gathered to listen. From the moment the needle hit the groove, it was clear that this was one of the finest vinyl presentations I have ever experienced. Even though the gear still needs time to break in, the sound is already spectacular and left everyone with a huge smile. We at Nuts About Hi-Fi are so grateful to be part of Martin’s musical journey.
We recently commissioned Cory, our favorite local artist, to create a cautionary sign for our listening room.
Cory specializes in acoustically friendly artwork for home entertainment rooms and often works with our clients. If you are interested in a piece featuring your favorite musical performer or actor, Cory is highly recommended.
