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 😂!

I'm not interested in buying more gear, even if I could afford it. I have 4 pairs of speakers, smoke damaged from a fire I had 4 years ago, just sitting in my basement - since. JBL 1400's - fortunately undamaged, a pair of JBL 250ti's and 2 pairs of vintage Yamaha's. And several power and preamps. The Yamaha's cabinets need a lot of work.

 Restoring them would be more rewarding than buying new stuff, IMO. Fixing grills, new caps, cleaning and re-finishing. Perhaps its nostalgia but for me there is satisfaction in fixing the old.
