Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?

OK we all know what a merry-go-round audio can be. For those of us who are incessant upgraders, what components have you found that either have stopped or seriously curtailed your search for better?

For me its my Audio Tekne Cables and my vintage Classe DR3 amps (25 wpc high current class A design designed by Dave Reisch in the early days of the company). My Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3s would probably fall into this category, but I would probably buy the next statement models that Roy Johnson builds sight unheard.

After six years of building a system from scratch, I finally feel like I am on the home stretch; last stop is the amp(s) that will complete my system for good.

What I have that is staying:
Simaudio Neo 280D with Mind module (dac/network player)
Synology 216play 2TB server
YS Audio A2 Balanced Gold tube preamp
ZU Audio Omen Def MkII’s with Radian upgrade
Richard Grey 600 pro power
Assorted ZU and AQ cables

I really like my Audio Research 300.2 amp, it synergizes so well with my tube preamp and ZU speakers, though I have never tried mono blocks, let alone tube mono blocks. The efficiency of my ZU’s beg for me to try a pair at least once; either I will love them or go back to SS. Last piece of the puzzle to complete for me. (for now).

Cheers
