Before the recent pandemic, way back in 2019, several SFAS members attended the LAOCAS presentation of the Founders Award for Michael Fremer and in addition to having a fabulous time and hobnobbing with industry illuminati, managed to win many thousands of dollars in raffle prizes, including a pair of Vandersteen Speakers, a Rogers tube power amplifier, a pair of ESS Bookshelf speakers, and, something else that Larry couldn't remember- he was a multiple prize winner- maybe an SAT Tonearm? So don't miss out. This years prize list is bigger than ever!
