RE: R.I.P. Lyric Hi-Fi

I remember going in Lyric around 1987 to buy a VPI record cleaning machine. All the help wore white shirts and ties. I had just put a Troika cartridge on my LP12 and wanted to keep things clean. As we were hovering over one of the VPI machines I asked him if the machine would actually do a good job on the used records I was buying at shops, garage sales, and salvation army. He looked down his nose at me and said "Sir, I don't buy used records." Really a pompous ass. And no it wasn't Mike. Mike was always pleasant. I ended up purchasing the VPI there but never forgot that salesman.
