What is wrong with Audiogon Forums?
Had a heck of a time getting here but now that I know its not my computer I'll check back periodically to see if things get back to normal.  Until they are, I'm out! 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
@blueranger - you make an interesting point.  I read a piece by Harry Pearson (RIP) in the Absolute Sound decades ago where he basically said that there are unexplainable truths/realities in Audio reproduction due to the limitations of our scienti... 
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
At 65, I've owned my Spendor S100's for 28 yrs now.  Barring some kind of mechanical catastrophe, I'm pretty sure these puppies will outlive me!;) 
Jazz for aficionados
RIP Jerry Gonzalez.  Latin Jazz legend and founder of the Fort Apache Band.  Killed in a fire at his home in Madrid.

Glad it seems to be working out, keep us posted! 
BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM
I really hope this works out for you, I think you've waited more than long enough.  I'm curious, have you done many private deals up until now?  I think when one is 1st starting out, one wants to believe in the inherent goodness of man, allowing t...

Burt Reynolds has passed away
For some reason, the anger and outrage I felt at the Adam Sandler remake of the Longest Yard is amplified to the nth degree!   
If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
...and I'll admit to being an unapologetic fanboy of Jon Cleary!  Here's a few from his latest; Dyna-Mite!https://youtu.be/oOJUpo9y4hA...and this one ain't got a lick of Funk, but SO much soul, I really love this tune.https://youtu.be/GEYQAJW889g 
If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
What once was old, is new again!  TOP 2018!!!  Even though most of the original band has moved on, as long as David Garibaldi (drums) and Francis Rocco Prestia (bass) are holding down the rhythm section, I'm in!!!;)https://youtu.be/H1S1hzVVGtIhttp... 
BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH?
I'm curious, why no BJC? 
your favorite 3 Duke Ellington albums?
I own and enjoy the Grusin disc (along with the companion homage to Bernstein), but are you serious!?  The OP's asking for recs on the BEST Duke Ellington recordings and you think the Grusin beats out work by the Duke himself!?  If yr not being sa... 
Is APower Conditioner For A Mostly Vintage System Worth Getting?
+1 on the Furman Elite 15i.  Just got a used one last month for $115 in as-new condition.  Nice piece of gear!  There's one on Ebay for $99 right now that I'm looking at for the bedroom system! 
Aretha Franklin RIP
Listening to Amazing Grace as I type.  S'funny, I've always equated this amazing record to Frank Sinatra's 'Live At The Sands' in that it's one of the truly rare recordings capturing an artist at the peak of their powers, in front of what can only... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
Here's a tale from the old school/used side of the tracks.  Few weeks back I bought a Wadia 170i (10 yrs old) to use with a few ipods I own.  Hooked it up to an 18 yr old dac I had in the 'spares' closet.  I used a set of DH Labs IC from the dac t...
