January 2022 Meeting – SOTA Turntables
It was a bitter cold early Saturday when I headed down to Rockville from Baltimore. A snowstorm gave just a glancing blow with barely an inch of snow. Roads were clear and dry, making travel easy. This month’s meeting, hosted by Ken Wolff of SOTA Tutntables and Command Performance’s Jon Archer, highlighted the new Nova VI and the Comet VI turntables.

Russ has been a corporate member of the DC Hi-Fi Group from the beginning and is a big supporter of the club. Hosting a club meeting takes a lot of work and Russ has done many. Be sure to thank Russ and Roslyn at the next gathering. It was a beautiful day, a little chilly, but anything above freezing in February around here is a… Read More
