Maryland,Wash.DC Metro area

I like the suggestion about meeting somewhere - a restaurant or nice (quiet) bar - for dinner and/or drinks to get to know one another and talk about the feasibilty of organizing a formal club or semi-formal group. I live in Columbia, but work in Montgomery Co., so I'm not far from D.C. or the N. Va areas for something after work. I could do a Saturday, too. Need to determine which location would be most convenient to do the ice breaker. Maybe shoot for something in 2-3 weeks? JS

I'd be interested in meeting. I work in Reston, VA. Feel free to email me or if I can think of something, I'll keep everyone posted.

So how is this budding club coming along? I know a few guys at work who are into the 2 channel or HT. I think they would also be interested. You can see the beginnings of my HT/2 channel system at:

Greetings All,

Love to know if the club ever got off the ground. I would be very interested. I recently moved to Reston from Richmond VA - and looking for some fellow local nuts. I actually partnered with a local dealer and a couple of buddies in Richmond to form the Richmond Audio Society, it was great fun and the club is still going strong with about 40 serious members.

See the link: http://www.richmondaudiosociety.com/

We met on Sundays every other month on such topics as: Source shoot out, cable shoot out, DIY day, Buy-sell-swap day, System crawl, etc. We also had manufacturers like Homegrown Audio, & Sophia Audio come talk to us too. It was a lot of fun and I would love to get involved with a club in the area if one exist.

Please shoot me an e-mail if any members read this.

Thanks All,
Mike

As far as I can tell, nothing's happening. It's pretty sad that in the entire D.C.-Balto. region there's no audio club. I think a club would have to be centered around a high-end dealer, such as perhaps Soundworks in Kensington, MD, to have any real chance of getting off the ground. It would be fun to talk with fellow audiophiles (I'm a 2-ch type myself but I can accept those followers of HT) to enrich a great hobby, explore new equipment and ideas, share tweaks, and the celebrate joy of music. It's too bad we have such a geographical spread of potential memebers. It's still possible...I think we need to give it a try. JS
