Jim Lee
As a 9 year old, my first record purchase I ever made with my own money was for an Elvis Presley “Hound Dog” 45. I had saved enough nickels by nightly washing dishes for my mother who put them in jar above the sink. Today, I still have that 45 recording. In 1977, between semesters while attending WSU, I landed a summer job working as a trainee installer for a small stereo company in Spokane, WA. It is now 2019 with 42 years of experience in the stereo business.
I quickly fell in love with stereo gear, but found the most intriguing aspect of the business was the customer’s level of excitement. I continue to work and learn as much as I can, especially how sound equipment works and performs in various rooms with acoustical treatments. I have been fortunate to work with some of the most influential and knowledgeable people in the industry. People like Mark Levinson, David Wilson, Jim White, Neil Sinclair, Jim Thiel, Dan D’Agostino and other friends who took me under their wings, so to speak, and tried their best to help me. Eventually I was able to buy my own business and continue building a clientele of some of the most interesting people I could ever imagine.
Nuts About Hi Fi is made up of individuals who feel the same about the business as I do. As a company I’ve learned the most valuable thing to offer, is sincere and unwavering customer service. Everyone here is 100% committed to making sure the customer is treated as a friend. Our goal is to “over-deliver”, impressing every customer we encounter by only offering equipment that we would buy ourselves. It is much more than a business to me —it is my way of life.
I want to convey a big THANK YOU to all my customers who have supported NUTS ABOUT HI FI over the years — I’m looking forward to the next 42 years!!!
