Let me be the fourth to recommend Deja Vu! Incredible store if you like tubes and analog. I have one of their amps and preamps and couldn't be happier. And welcome to the area, DCer here.
I concur w/ the above. You are very close to some really outstanding Audio shops- enjoy!
Keep me posted as you visit these guys on a one-by-one basis. Post your thought/impressions here, as well as, the gear that was auditioned. The northern VA is rich w/ dealers/retailers especially the Falls Church area. Conrad Johnson factory is in Fairfax VA additionally.
Welcome to Virginia. I am only a few miles down the road from you in Ashburn. Right after Dulles and before Leesburg. How is your LPS settling in? I remember discussing with you a while back dialing it in and other things.
As far as audio clubs in northern Virginia, few. Perhaps we can start our own. The car scene around this area regarding auto clubs is pretty big. I will shoot you a PM to discuss getting together.
I really like Gifted Listener Audio - bought a lot of my stuff from there.
I've also been to Evolution A/V in Tysons Corner.
There's also Command Performance A/V in Falls Church. I've met some of the guys from there at the Capital AudioFest and they seemed to be good dudes.
If you're into headphones, local Head-Fi'ers usually meet at the George Mason Regional Public Library. There's one coming up Saturday, November 7 from noon - 4:30 p.m. Here's a link:
