Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?


I wonder if out there somewhere there’s a support group called Audiophile Anonymous 😂 that addresses Audiophiles constant need for perfection. For my self I would probably benefit from a couple of these group sessions. Putting humor aside there’s some truth to this hobby being addictive and at some point there has to be an end point where you are there and the need to upgrade serves no useful purpose. I can’t say I’m 100% there yet, but something inside me tells me I’m getting close to hitting rock bottom and when I do maybe I’ll see the light, or maybe not 😂!

Yes this year I get my full pension , I am upgrading  my days with separates they maybe ending ,my older pass labs went out , and may need to be rebuilt ,i hurt my back , my brother has tons of great gear being a lawyer ,he is offering me Accuphase integrated almost new on a payment plan I may just jump on it 

or his Gryphon Diablo integrated, either one , .I am considering selling  my great 

LTA preamp , and Hegel amp , just to keep it simple  with a very good integrated 

,upgrading cables and digital  then call it a day.week,month, Year !!

Mitch they are pretty nice the 2026 model I think a redesign ,if so I am all in .

Yes  when the Mrs see $4 figure deductions and my hobby she can’t justify when she feels it’s unimportant , for the short term ,She just bought a New Toyota Crown 

so for me game back on , and when funds runout ,and forced to make more money and save .. it truly never ends , speaking for myself at almost 67 I am starting to build a end game system ,I have 2 + Audio systems one is the wife’s ,-mine to switch gear around . After throwing my back out with a 100 lb amp went out has to be fixed ,then I am selling it .

I may get away from separates my brother has a Gryphon Diablo I have wanted 

and I have a Accuphase 4000 integrated  just put it in place and leave it ,
