DCHFG Meeting – 02/21/2026
The first regular meeting of 2026 found us returning to Gary Gill’s house.
Gary has been exploring addons to his Popori Electrostatic speakers from France. DCHFG President, John Gatski, updated us on recent meeting in Deleware and planned meetings in the future. David Berning, David Berning amplifiers, provided details on the new LTA Century amplifiers that we heard during the listening session of the meeting.
Everyone looks forward to the end of the meeting raffle.
DCHFG Room @CAF2025
The DCHFG room at CAF 2025 received a special mention online and in print from the Absolute Sound magazine.
The DCHFG room theme of High Performance and High Value home audio continues to resonate with showgoers and fans of modestly price components. If you missed hearing our room but are curious about what we played, check out this page where all the equipment details are shown.
A diverse group of listeners including David Chesky and Sandy Gross (founder Polk Audio) have visited the DCHFG room on several occasions.
Alan Taffel’s Top Picks and Trends at CAF
Best Sound (for-the-money)
The DC Audio Group room offered three systems intended to demonstrate what can be done for very modest sums. My favorite was the “Tier 2” middle system, which featured the HiVi Swan DS 3.1 Mk II speakers, a Wiim Ultra music streamer, and an SMSL VMV A1Pro amp. Despite the ridiculously-low price of $1300 for the whole system, the sound was refined, dynamic and full-bodied, with images that were untethered to the speakers.
