Fall in Love Again With Your Music

There’s something special about sitting down, turning everything else off, and simply listening.

A great audio system isn’t really about the equipment. It’s about what happens when the room disappears and the music takes over.

You begin hearing familiar recordings in a new way, the depth, emotion, detail, and little nuances that remind you why you loved that music in the first place.

At Nuts About Hi-Fi, that’s what we’re passionate about creating.

Whether it’s improving the system you already own or helping you build something completely new, our goal is simple:

To help you fall in love again with your music.

A Special Visitor: Jazz Pianist Francesco Crosara

This week, we had a very special visitor grace our showroom: Mr. Francesco Crosara. My wife, Angela, and I first met Francesco a few weeks ago at a fundraiser for the Music Discovery Center. He and I talked music and I invited him into our showroom to listen to his most recent CD release. Francesco was so taken by the sound in our listening room he ended up buying a beautiful pair of Focal speakers and Marantz turntable for his listening room.

I was was pretty taken myself. I was surprised by not only the technical quality of the recording, but the music is incredible. Francesco, if you haven’t heard him, is one of the best jazz pianists/composers of our time and just happens to live in our area.

We will soon have this recording available in our store for sale. All proceeds from its sale will be generously donated to the Music Discovery Center, which is dedicated to helping kids who lack the means to acquire musical instruments, providing them with essential support in learning to play and compose.

This foundation is a great group of folks who donate their time and energy to this cause and we at Nuts About Hi-Fi are honored to help.

This Is Your Brain On Music

If you’ve ever wondered why music is such an important part of our lives and well-being, this book by Dr. Oliver Sacks, “This Is Your Brain On Music”, gives a very intriguing explanation. A good friend and customer gave me a copy years ago. I decided to buy the audible version and listen to it again over this weekend. Fascinating stuff.
