Dallas (Fort Worth) Audiophile Club - we meet every month or every other month


I run an audiophile group in DFW, we call ourselves DFW audiophile club aka DFWAC.  

We have 6 core members who make it to every meet, we have 4-5 others who cycle in and out.

We just met and had a great time, we listened to a pair of Wilson Alexandria X2S2, Boulder 3060 amp, Boulder 2110 preamp, DCS Vivaldi full stack including DAC/upsampler/clock/transport, with dual JL Audio F113 subs, and full Transparent Magnum Opus speaker wire and interconnects and Tara Labs power cables.

We usually meet once a month or every other month, we usually meet on a Wednesday at 6p, then dinner at 8p, hang out until about 11p.

It's a great group, we have become friends. We have been meeting for about a year.

PM me if you want to join or show off your system.

Alright, another successful meet. 

Next one will be a mini-meet, we are going to go to the Sasha DAW debut 12/13/18 at 730pm.  There will not be dinner as it is late.  
Hello Kevin

I would say that we try to meet every other month, we usually meet at someone's place and listen for a couple hours and then go to dinner after so we can have a conversation. 

We don't have manufacturers present and it's not particularly formal. 

Just a fun time.

Hello Kevin,


For the privacy of the members/host, we do  not post locations or address on the open forum.  

Interested parties will have to PM me or email me.

Update:
As of today, both July 22 and August 21 meets are booked to the brim. 

I will announce future meets later. 
Not sure about high end shows. 

Regarding meets, the holidays are usually very busy, our meet count typically goes down for the season. 

Next meeting is December 12, thursday. 

This would be meeting #16. 

PM me if interested. 

Club is definitely getting full. 

If you would like to showcase your set up, we can do that too.  I can set up the meet, you don't have to do anything but show off your system.  You don't even have to come to other meets if you're too busy.  Just let me know. 

I believe I have responded to all my DM. 

DM me if not. 

We are meeting in February.  

Typically we meet every 2 months.

Just to make things easier:

Anyone who is interested, when you DM me, send me your system information and contact information.

If I don't see any red flags, then you will get put on a temporary new member/interested member list for emails and correspondence and invites to live or zoom meetings.


Thx

Zoom 7:  4/12/22 at 615pm

Special Guest:  Cannot be disclosed but you have heard of him

 

Yes.  I just had a conversation with a Las Vegas transplant just this week who wants to join.  He ran the Vegas club so he might have some insight for me as how to run the Dallas club. 
Just message me, I’ll link up with you that way @Londonerwesti got the message from @jones20992

Still ongoing.

A little on the downlow for now because of covid, but we will come back strong shortly.  We tried to have a live meet in September but could not push through because of covid resurgence.  Hopefully we can have live meets soon again.  

DFWAC 26 at Al’s was a success.

12/17/22

20 members

 

Next meeting in the works.

 

Stay tuned.

Last meet on 2/26/23 at Porterhouse was a success, 11 members present.

Next meet on 3/28/23 - Mike Lavigne Zoom.  25 members.

Next meet on 4/26/23 - Flowers home.  25 members.

Next meet on 5/13/23 - Summers home.  15 members.

 

Many more meets will be set up for this year.

 

I'm looking for people with high end 2 channel gear, people who are into meeting up and participating.  We have a membership of around 70 members, about 40 are very active.  I need to thin out the herd over time and really start keeping those who enjoy meeting and not just the idea of meeting.

@jeffstrick 

No problem

easy enough - we don’t click.

the club is a close knit group, we look out for each other, we talk daily, and we meet in each other’s homes.  I’m not just letting some random in without vetting them.  So thanks for making it easy.

DFWAC 29 with Brian Flowers was a success!

 

Next: DFWAC 30 at Terry's on 5/13

full. 

 

DFWAC 31 at Scott Walker in Keller TX.

6/24/23 Magico Day

6/25/24 Estelon Day

 

Didn't know it's been almost 6 months since the last post.  A audiophile just reached out to me so it reminded me of this thread. 

 

The club is still going strong, actually it's bigger and more eventful than before. 

 

We are at about 100, with about 50 who are very active.  


We meet every 1-2 months and frequently communicate outside of the forums.  

Last meet was at James' place.

Big Bowers and Macs with VPI Avenger Reference and My Sonic Labs Platinum.  

12/20/23

Approx 25 to 30 were present.  Another great meeting!

I will schedule the next meeting after I recover from the holidays.

3/16/24 - SWAF Day 2 Saturday:

We had a very good dinner at Fogo De Chao Dallas. About 33 were there including Jay of Jays Audio Lab and Ron Resnick co-owner of Whatsbestforum.

Many memories I won’t soon forget.

The group has become just a group of very good friends over time.
