Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped?

Well this question is for fun but also kinda serious too.

Have you felt the urger to buy a vintage piece of audio gear when you really didn’t need it? Have you felt that this is an addiction and how can it be stopped?

I have Marantz 2235 receiver in my office, a Sansui 1000x in my bedroom, a Realistic STA-52b in my spare bedroom and Yamaha RX-V995 in my wifes sewing room and a Yamaha RX-V690 in the garage with various vintage speakers connected to all of them. I already have two complete audio systems in my audio room.

 

When does the madness stop? My wife tells me I have an audio problem!?!

There are more destructive hobbies. I suggest you reflect about why you want to pursue this and if there are reasons beyond the adrenaline of chase or purchase that you just give into it. Develop routines in which you swap things in and out, listen to the differences, figure out what new sensations please you.

Look, no one criticizes the wine lover for wanting to try more wines, or the golf lover for wanting to play on new courses. You have nothing to be ashamed of. At all.
