DCHFG April 2019 Meeting
DC Hi-Fi Group April Meeting at The Vinyl Revivers, April 28, 2019, by Paul Elliott It was another great Sunday at Russ’s.

I would guess there were about 30 club members on hand to meet three company representatives, have a hearty lunch, and take home some goodies.

DCHFG member Paul Elliot filed this recent report. The DC Hi-Fi Group took advantage of Dr. Vinyl’s hospitality and gathered at his new demo rooms to hear some very special gear. The Thrax kit was held together with the superb David cables from EnKlien. The music signal was presented at a level I have never heard before. Manufacturers often explain that they design and build their equipment to “do no harm” and to “simply get out of the way of the music”. I finally have heard this in listening to this system. Having… Read More
