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.

It’s All About Creating the Illusion of Depth

Pictured with me is my good friend and talented artist Cory Anderson. The acoustic diffusion panel between us began with an idea we had more than six months ago: why can’t acoustic treatment also be original artwork?

Using standard 24” × 24” Vicoustic diffuser panels, Cory created an image of Miles Davis that appears and changes depending on your viewing angle.

Acoustic diffusion helps disperse unwanted sound reflections and creates a greater sense of space and depth in the music. Cory’s artwork does something very similar visually.

The result is a unique combination of art and acoustics.

If you’d like to improve your listening room while adding something truly personal, think about an artist or musician you’d love to see brought to life.

We can help do the rest.

Celebrating 100 Years of Home Music

Stunned and amazed in Seattle

I wanted to share some feedback from our customer, Rich, whom I have been helping upgrade his listening system over the past year. Yesterday I visited his home to have a listen. Absolutely Amazing sound. I couldn’t be happier for him. I asked him to describe his experiences with his upgrades. Here is what he had to say:

“It all started innocently enough. I was seduced by a Mola Mola Tambaqui, and when I was taking it home, I decided to add three Sort Cones. I eventually figured out where to place them under the DAC, and when I did, I noticed the music had a natural flow to it—it grooved! I was completely surprised, as I didn’t really believe in such things.

Next, through a strange turn of events, I ended up with a pair of Focal Sopra 3s in my living room. Knowing the room had bass issues, I ordered some Nordost Sort Füt for them. I had the speakers for a couple of weeks before the Sort Füt was installed, and I was amazed at how much better the focus became and how precise the image was afterward.

At the time, Jim suggested a Nordost QB8 would be a significant upgrade over my 25-year-old Audio Prism, so I decided to make the leap. While I was at it, I figured I should upgrade the power cable too. Previously, in a leap of faith, I had bought four Nordost Red Dawn power cables. As an electrician, I didn’t really believe in them either, but even electricians can be wrong. This time, I ordered a Nordost Tyr. I’ve seen the light! Listening to the QBASE with the Red Dawn and some loaner QRT plug-ins, the difference was apparent from the beginning. Not only did the music groove, but it had drive and a wonderfully palpable sound.

When the Tyr and the QRT plug-ins arrived, Jim asked me to listen to just the Tyr first to hear what changed. Quite a lot, in fact. The presentation was clear, well-defined, and flat-out enjoyable. The QRT plug-ins were the icing on the cake, bringing everything to life just a bit more. At this point, I figured why not add a QKore?

The system is now light years away from where it was when it was just the Focals. I’ve been a skeptic my whole life, and for the most part, it has served me well. However, these Nordost products are slapping me silly for ever doubting!
