To sbank, Yes, I am familiar with that Audio Society but have not attended any of their meetings. Occasionally, they have them at different audio shops in Pasadena which is not far from where I lived in L.A. Metro area.
BTW, I meant to ask you about a comment you made about the "Spin Clean" record cleaning machine. I think you said it would work better than cleaning LP's with a MF liquid clearer and brush. I have seen it, and is reasonably priced even for the Deluxe model.
However, I never paid much attention to record machine cleaners because I had a "Record Doctor" unit about 15 years ago that really did not offer much cleaning. Do you have a "Spin Clean" system or know of people who owned them?? Thanks, SJ
