Good time to join.
I do belong to the SFAS. Honestly I find most of their events to be uninteresting. The SF Audiophile Society tends to mostly host events that are presented by sales reps and audio shop owners. Typical events involve showing new products at high prices. The organizers mean well, but they're the kinds of people with $20,000+ invested in their systems consisting of gear purchased from audio salons. This is the crowd that invests heavily in things like speaker cables, power cords, cable lifts, etc, and for whom something like a Linn turntable is considered passé.
This Facebook group is intended for local audiophiles, and DIY folk in particular, to meet and socialize in each other's homes. I think you learn more from other audiophiles than you do going to some audio salon and hearing a sales pitch for the latest $30,000 monkey coffins.

LOL, That's not me. I'm the guy with the CHEAPEST DAC ($2000 delivered) at the recent DAC Shootout.
And the Magico factory tour was worth the time and effort even if one has NO PLANS to ever own a Magico Speaker, and that would include me.

Operations Manager Dave Shackleton was very gracious to give me a tour of their facilities last November. We also had a great listening session in their purpose-built listening room.
Great speakers, great folks.
:)
Good Luck- Russ.
keep us posted on your endeavor.
