A'gon joke...
All I can say is that the moderator(s) must be heavily biased toward line source speakers?  
So This Really Is The End....
Whew! Really had me concerned there for a minute. From the OP’s title, I thought AudioGon was going to ban any future discussion of audiophile fuses on this forum.

Will there be a dramatic difference?
@rossgordon You’re a few hours into the breakin. Things will sound better. Probably by the end of the day today. There’s a difference between a pragmatic rationalist who desires to get to the end result with the minimal investment in time (and,... 
cheapest speaker made in the last 10 year that can beat any speaker made before 1970?
Before 1970? That would be 1969.  The year of Woodstock (that I didn't visit until 2019).  And, the Texas International Music Festival that I DID visit in 1969 (skinny dipping was highlight). I remember how important Linear Air Spring tweeters we... 
Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts?
AudioGon: Very smart, and often humorous, people here. I don't mind when things go off topic.  Getting to know people a little better is not a bad thing.  Some people have "smarts" that extend well beyond their knowledge of music and equipment.  ... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
As a promenant cable designer once stated: "Cables can’t make a system sound better. They can only make it sound worse. It’s all about damage control." Me: There are some who claim there are no sonic differences in cables. My opinon is that it is... 
My Final System Build in Words & Pictures

Perfect Vinyl Forever
I use Bug and Tar Remover and 0000 steel wool to clean old, rusty metal car parts.  I glanced over at my vinyl collection and rejected the concept of duplicating the process.  It was one of my better life choices.    
user poll on seperates vs integrated
It would be interesting to do an actual survey of participants related to this subject.  Key questions could extract a lot of raw data from the group, and could be viewed in detail, or summarily.  I can think of a dozen, or so, questions off hand ... 
Has Your Hobby Changed?
Other activities have encroached on my listening sessions.  I'd say the trade offs have been an overall positive change for an aging audiophile.  Even with significant hearing loss, those listening sessions remain very special. Enjoy the music.  ... 
Have a reflective Memorial day.
@2psyop  "Thanks for all the courage, sacrifice and honorable things you have done." And, thank you for the post.     
How rare is an audiophile
fyi- personalized plates on my daily driver -- "LUV HZ" I got a "two-fer" here. A "tribute" to my first wife, AND a statement of my passion for (just about) anything that makes noise. Must be an audiophile?  
user poll on seperates vs integrated
It would be interesting to see a "shoot out" of integrated vs separates in, say, the $10k-$15k price range.  This would need to take into consideration the TOTAL cost of ownership including appropriate cabling, etc.  The additional cost of cabling...
