Hot, Hot, Hot. It was not just the weather on Saturday afternoon at our fearless leader’s (John Gatski) home for the “All Things Must Pass” demo. Nelson Pass only made three speaker models in the company’s 30-year history, including the infamous Rushmore, which still fetch $40,000 per pair on the used market.

The XA350.8 is a current model; the XP-10 preamp is the… Read More
On a warm and sunny Saturday, we had about twelve vendors and individuals presenting their ware for the public to peruse and purchase. Most vinyl sales were brisk, both used and new LP’s, CD’s, and even cassette tapes were available. Lots of vintage gear was available too. The beautiful weather kept the big crowds away but there was a steady stream of participants. An enjoyable time for like-minded people interested in good music.
It was one of those special spring days for a drive down to Annadale from Baltimore. Luckily, this time the traffic on 495 was tolerable.

There is always a lively turnout. Our club members have been treated to the evolution… Read More

The March 19th meeting of The DC H-iFi Group found forty like-minded persons of the audiophile ilk traipsing from all over to the Alexandria, Va. location.
