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.

When I got some nice Sylvania 6SN7 tubes for my Rogue 99
amd my Sophia 300B, that was the end of road. I don't know if my system could sound any better, using the current equipment. Audio Bliss.

Martin Logan CLS. It comes as know surprise that I vote the Martin Logan CLS.

Physically beautiful. Sonically stunning. Reasonbly priced. When the dust settled most (if not all)of its' shortcomings could be attributed to associated gear. It is the tweakers dream because it reveals almost every change upstream.

It remains the star of my system and everything else is the supporting cast.

Gayle Sanders should enjoy his retirement because he has left quite a legacy.
