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 😂!

Yup, agree with you completely.  I am on my final final up grade, to my home theater/music system.  Bought a NITB Mcintosh MX-160, and a used

MC 501 amp for the center speaker.  Adding front high speakers to the mix.  Building a custom cherry shelf unit out of 2” thick cherry.  The mill where I had the shelves built, promised me that the would handle the amps weight easily.  My only problem is finding someone to run the Mcintosh Room Perfect system for me, doing all the speaker and sub set up, without asking for several thousand dollars!!  The shops think since you have Mcintosh you can surely afford a few thousand more to set it up.  Has really taken the fun out of my quest.   Poor me- LOL.
