DC Metro -- New


I would like to see what level of interest there is in re-starting a Washington-DC area Audio Society. F2Audio held a meeting in Falls Church last summer that was well attended. Unfortunately, the attendance list no longer exists. F2Audio is closing and being replaced by Command Performance AV (same owner Jeff). I am willing to host an upcoming meeting at our location in Falls Church. I am sure we could get a manufacturer to speak to us. I was thinking of having a meeting towards the end of Sept. What might be fun for an October meeting is to have mini-trip reports of what was cool at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest.

I am open to suggestions as to topics or if someone else would rather host. My goals are to 1) try to get the Society going and 2) this time keep it going.

If anyone is interested in a meeting please post here AND email me at jeff@commandav.com so that I can send updates to everyone via email.

Update on Metro Washington DC Audio Society January 30th Meeting

Per the previous notice, Zu Audio will be the feature presenter on the January 30th meeting of the Metro Washington DC Audio Society at Jeff Fox’s house at 7105 Maybury Court, Falls Church, VA 22046. Ron, from Zu will be demonstrating Zu’s new Essence speaker, plus some other TBD goodies.

The formal meeting will take place at 3:00 pm. Also, at the start of the meeting, Gary Gill will give a short address on the upcoming local audio show called the Capital Audiofest (http://capitalaudiofest.com/).

In addition to the formal meeting, Ron will provide a more informal on-going demonstration of the Zu’s Essence speaker from 1 pm to 5 pm on the 20th. So if you cannot make it at 3 pm, come on by at another time. Ron, will be here early if you want to schedule a one-on-one session in the morning.

Also, there will be a BONUS event! Since Zu Audio’s approach to speaker design is to replicate the sound of a live event, we thought it would be fun to go to a local concert on the evening of January 29th. The concert is The Kennedy’s at Jammin Java in Vienna (http://jamminjava.com/home/events/the-kennedys-maura-kennedys-solo-cd-release). The concert is at 7 pm and advanced tickets can be purchased at the above website.

We want to expand the music loving community, so please bring a newbie if you can – significant other, son, daughter, nephew, or a neighbor.

Please note that we are asking anyone who wants to attend the Audio Society meeting to RSVP to jeff@commandav.com.
Hey guys,

I wanted to give a heads up - the Head-Fi community is planning another meet on March 21 for anybody who is interested - the relevant link is here http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f24/va-md-washington-dc-march-21-2010-a-464433/.

To all of our Washington DC Audio Society members...

If you did not already know, the Capital Audiofest (http://www.capitalaudiofest.com/p1.html) is being held in Rockville, MD from 6/11 - 6/13. This is the first show in the DC area in a long time and it would be great to have this as an annual event. So if you can make it, please try to attend. This should be a fun event. Besides the product demonstrations, there will be live music and a swap meet.

If anyone wants to take picture and blog about this, we can post this to the club website (http://metrodcaudiosociety.blogspot.com/).
