Deja Vu Audio has moved to 8450B Tyco Road, Vienna, VA 22182.
The Store and Audition Rooms: One visit and you will immediately note that Deja Vu Audio is different from most audio stores you have ever visited. The demo rooms allow evaluation of hifi and video products in a warm and restfull atmosphere. Customers are encouraged to bring music they are familiar with to listen, but the store has a large selection of music available in all music categories. The store's goal is to communicate the heart and expression of the recording artist, while drawing the listener into a dimensional and emotinally satisfying musical experience.
For each customer, Deja Vu Audio carefully assembles the best equipment which approaches the highest degree of perfection available within individual’s budget. The overriding criteria is always sound quality – providing the best possible listening or viewing experience for the customers is the paramount consideration.
We select the world’s best audio components based on “quality”, “reliability” and ” value “. A Hi-Fi system can cost a lot less than many first time customers anticipate. All customized systems can be assembled to suit budgets from $3,000 to $500,000 (or more).
Services: We also specialise in custom, made to order hifi systems and hifi storage. We offer a full service installation in your home and we can also install hifi systems abroad, by special arrangement.
After Sale Services: Customer requirements are not static but dynamic in nature, therefore when customers feel that the time has come to upgrade or improve the current system, we can help. Even the best equipment will, at some time, be subject to revision and replacement with improved models. We guide customers through this phase and advise them of the best time and the best approach to adopt when upgrading their own systems.

Review of Deja Vu Audio by Herb Reichert at Capitol Audiofest 2014:
"... Déjà vu Audio: The old book on Capital Audiofest has it that CAF is heavily infested with DIY'ers. I can't speak for the past, but if anyone thinks that restoring and refining vintage Motiograph MA-7505s (made in Chicago ca 1951) or Western Electric gear is DIY (or the specialty of pipe-smoking geezers) —I'd advise him or her to think again. First off this is investment quality hardware that will appear at Sotheby's or Christie's before you'll ever find it on Audiogon. Secondly, this stuff is state-of-the-art modernist industrial art —not overwrought CNC-tooled audio fashion of the year bling. Déjà vu's proprietor Vu Hoang has created the first truly super high-end "vintage" audio salon in America. He is so far ahead of the 21st century audio curve, most of us can't even see his taillights.
But stop, I know what you are thinking. You imagine this stuff sounds like old Victrolas or early "talkies" down at the Bijou. Wrong again. While it is true that most of this gear started out as cost-is-no-object, not-for-sale, state-of-the-art, movie-theater workhorses, the stuff Vu Hoang is demonstrating has been carefully massaged by master craftsmen. Each piece looks fresh and original —I am talking spa treatments not total restorations. His soldering monks breathe new life into these objects d' art. His main soldering monk is an Italian named "Aldo".
Some pieces are not just freshened up —some are totally transformed by Aldo. Try to imagine a beautiful green-faced Altec Western Electric tube DAC!!!!!
I can hear you again, cut the crap Herb —just tell us how it sounds! Well, I know you won't believe me but I thought Vu's room with the Western Electric 713 System speakers ($54,000.00), Vu Audio Vintage Collection WE 300B amps with Western Electric wire and transformers ($30,000.00) sounded surprisingly much (smooth, fast, uncolored, good imaging) like some brand-new Class A-type set up—not "talkie" or Victrolas at all. (I told you wouldn't believe me.) This system also included a Vintage Collection preamp ($17,000.00) by Aldo and that Altec/WE DAC mentioned above ($13,000).
Vu is also a regular new school up to date McLean, VA high-end dealer. His second room featured the always-awesome Harbeth 30s (one of my all time favorite loudspeakers at $5995) driven by a 100-watt Synthesis NYC 100 amp ($12,995), a Matrix DAC ($3495) and a Magnus CDP ($1395). The sound here was rich, highly textured and totally engaging.

Review of Deja Vu Audio by Art Dudley at Capitol Audiofest 2013:
"Even more vintage goodies awaited me in one of the rooms sponsored by the McClean, Virginia-based retailer and manufacturer Déjà vu Audio. In addition to selling new and vintage gear, proprietor Vu Hoang has distinguished himself with a line of original gear that makes generous use of vintage parts, including loudspeaker drivers, tubes, transformers, capacitors, and even chassis, faceplates, knobs, and switches. I was enraptured—no other word for it—by the sound of Deja Vu's Western Electric 753-inspired Hytone loudspeakers ($55,000/pair), the custom cabinets of which were equipped with IPC 15" woofers, original Western Electric KS 6368 horns, and Altec super-tweeters, driven by their custom-built monoblock amplifiers ($13,000/pair), built around Acrosound output transformers, Langevin interstage transformers, and push-pull pairs of original WE 350B output tubes.
For those with neither the desire nor the budget for vintage gear, déjà vu displayed, in a separate room, an all-new system built around an Italian Synthesis A100T integrated amp/digital converter ($7500) and a beautiful pair of ProAc Tablette Anniversary loudspeakers ($2200/pair), whose superb color, textural richness, scale, and sheer authority were all far greater than their tiny size suggested. Yet even in this room, Vu Hoang's dedication to vintage was evident in his own custom-made plinth for the Thorens TD 124 (above): built with shaped plywood, covered with maple veneer, and priced at a surprisingly low $400.

Review by Capital Audiofest 2014:
"The Deja vu Audio room was a refreshing departure from some of the tipped up sounding systems I experienced at the Audiofest. The vintage speakers ($44,000 – featuring Western Electric compression drivers/midrange horns, Western Electric/Jensen 15 inch woofers in folded horn cabinets,and other vintage parts and crossovers, etc.)in gorgeous custom made cabinetshad a warm balanced sound that I could have listened to for hours. These custom vintage speakers were driven by the Deja vu Audio Vintage Collection 349A stereo amplifier ($27,000) and 127C stereo preamplifier ($30,000), both including Western Electric output transformers and tubes. They were above my budget, but I certainly enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy the relaxed listening pleasure."
