DC Metro -- New

I would like to see what level of interest there is in re-starting a Washington-DC area Audio Society. F2Audio held a meeting in Falls Church last summer that was well attended. Unfortunately, the attendance list no longer exists. F2Audio is closing and being replaced by Command Performance AV (same owner Jeff). I am willing to host an upcoming meeting at our location in Falls Church. I am sure we could get a manufacturer to speak to us. I was thinking of having a meeting towards the end of Sept. What might be fun for an October meeting is to have mini-trip reports of what was cool at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest.

I am open to suggestions as to topics or if someone else would rather host. My goals are to 1) try to get the Society going and 2) this time keep it going.

If anyone is interested in a meeting please post here AND email me at jeff@commandav.com so that I can send updates to everyone via email.

How did the meeting on 11-17 go?? I was very interested in showing up, but got shanghai'd at the last minute that very day and could not come and introduce myself.

Are any other future dates planned?

Thanks.

Dear DC Area Audiophiles,

I hope you all had a great holiday season. Sorry for the delay in setting up the next meeting. However, the wait will definitely be worthwhile.

I would like to schedule the next club meeting for February 23rd. Vinh Vu from Norvinz will be the presenter. Vin will be demonstrating products from Sanders Sound Systems, Merrill-Sciliia Research, and Ginkgo audio. The format of the meeting will be one hour demonstrating the Sanders amp and preamp and the exciting new Merrill-Sciliia Research’s MS2 turntable. If we can get enough attendees, Vihn will also bring down a working prototype of the Sanders new electrostatic hybrid speakers. This will be a new smaller version of the model shown at CES. Thus, I encourage all of you who can attend the meeting, to please do so. To get a headcount, please RSVP to me as soon as possible if you plan to attend. Please send me an email so that I can put you on the club list and send you any necessary updates.

After the Sanders demonstrations, there will be a break. Following the break, Vinh will perform a demonstration of the ginkgo audio vibration products. This should be very educational for anyone interested in isolating their gear.

If people want to bring snacks to share at the break, that would be great.

The time and date: 4 p.m. on the Feb. 23rd. Again, please RSVP as soon as you can so that we can convince Vinh to bring down the new speakers. Personally, I am dying to hear them.
