DCHFG May 2019 Meeting
The DC Hi-Fi Group Meeting at John Gatski’s Home May 18, 2019 by Paul Elliott. Spring time in our area is supposed to be such a lovely time and it seemed to be a perfect time for John to have an open house for our group. Best laid plans of mice and men. Man was it hot and sticky. The warmest day so far this year! It happened to fall on Saturday so we suffered through it with beer and sliders. Even a surprise birthday cake for John, still a baby at… Read More
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.

Rob Pleyer, Director… Read More

DCHFG February 2019 Meeting
DCHFG Member Paul Elliott provides the text and photos for this month’s meeting. Audiophilism [sic] (not a real word but it should be) is a lonely hobby. Think about it. One spends hours working on their kit, trying out a new this or that. Maybe you received a new LP or digital download, marveling about the bass or the glorious highs or the blooming midrange. But there you are in a room full of boxes with knobs and wires – alone. At some point, you want to share or show off this… Read More
Thrax/Dr. Vinyl open house February 16th and 17th, 2019
DCHFG member Paul Elliott 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
