Today we finished a beautiful listening system for a new customer on Bainbridge Island. Rick came into our showroom for a completely unrelated TV problem that we were able to help him with. He had a few minutes to spare, so just for fun, we decided to spend a few minutes listening to some music through our new Naim Unity Nova and a pair of Focal Speakers.
I could tell he was taken back with a level of musical presence that he had never previously experienced with a home audio system. He immediately invited us out to check out his room to see what might be possible.
A couple days later Adam and I drove out early before work and met with him. His room is obviously beautiful and the acoustics are actually very good. We all three came up with a plan. I traded in his older KEF speakers and now he owns a level of musical presentation that complements his view.
Thank you Sir for allowing us to do our thing. So much fun working with you. We hope you and your family love it.
Hey there, fellow audiophiles! Jim Lee here, and I’m beyond excited to share with you the latest addition to our lineup: the Naim MU-SO 2nd Generation.
This remarkable piece of technology marks the first collaboration between Focal Speakers and Naim Audio since their merger, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer.
Picture this: I recently upgraded my small living room with a Samsung Frame TV, enchanted by its ability to seamlessly display artwork when not in use. But alas, the sound from the TV itself fell flat. That’s where the MU-SO 2nd Generation swooped in to save the day, delivering unparalleled sound quality to complement my video setup.
What sets the MU-SO 2 apart? Let’s start with its multicore Digital Signal Processor (DSP), boasting a whopping 2000 MIPS for exceptional performance. With a new limiter algorithm in place, even at high volume levels, the clarity of your music remains intact, ensuring both a pleasurable listening experience and long-term reliability. Plus, with six individual speaker components driven by six individual 75-watt amplifiers, every note and beat is rendered with precision.
And let’s not forget about its stunning design. The MU-SO 2 exudes elegance, with a choice of three finishes and optional replacement front speaker grills to seamlessly integrate into your decor.
Setting up the MU-SO 2 couldn’t be easier – it’s truly plug and play. Need proof? Check out this video link demonstrating the simple setup process: MU-SO 2 Setup Video
And with a handheld remote included, controlling your audio experience is a breeze. For even more versatility, utilize the free Focal Naim application to access radio stations or explore the world of hi-resolution music streaming providers – all wirelessly or via the built-in concealed Ethernet port.
In essence, Naim and Focal have hit a hole in one with the MU-SO 2nd Generation. But don’t just take my word for it – I invite you to visit our showroom and experience this remarkable accomplishment for yourself.
Elevate your home audio experience with the Naim MU-SO 2. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

So, here’s to you, Matt! Welcome to the Nuts About Hi-Fi family. Let’s embark on this exciting journey together, bringing world-class audio and video experiences to our customers.
Last week we received the new Mola Mola Tambaqui from our good friend Dick Diamond at GTT audio. We have been on the hunt for quite some time auditioning several high end DACs as we are always looking for the best possible performance out there. This particular component grabbed our attention as a couple of my friends in our industry who had heard it were excited enough to call us and recommend we give it a listen.
So what is a DAC? Simply put, it is the component that does the math from any digital music source and then converts it to analog so the music can be amplified and sent to speakers or headphones. This is arguably the most important component in any music system. The better this conversion, the more realistic music will sound.
MOLA MOLA is a group of audio engineers in the Netherlands headed up by a well respected mathematician Bruno Putzey. Most high end DACs use off-the-shelf chips to enable the conversion from digital to analog. Including manufacturers who offer DACs costing upwards of $60K. At Mola Mola they are using their own uniquely sophisticated process, which is nothing short of genius, to make music sound real.
This beautifully designed component also has built in streaming capabilities as well so it can allow one to access millions of recordings over the internet and make them sound superb. A few days ago Matt and I ran the Mola Mola Tambaqui through its paces in our listening room for the first time. After comparing DACs we already know well and love, we both agreed it’s better than anything we have ever had.
For our clients who consistently demand the best (you know who you are), call us to set up a demo.
Today we received a pair of Focal’s new outdoor “Stone” speakers. These are a very unique design and feature similar high quality components found in many of Focal’s high end indoor speakers. They are designed to blend into your landscape and withstand the harshest weather conditions. With a full-size 8-inch woofer and aluminum magnesium tweeter, they present a generous full-range, very easy to listen to presentation. They are available in three finishes: grey, sand and limestone.
We have them on display and like most Focal speakers they sound amazing. So if you are tired of weeding without good sounding music, stop in and have a listen. I can already tell you I’ll find a place for them in my garden.
