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 😂!

It just doesn’t seem as exciting anymore, the chase and pursuit of something new with the expectation of the thrill it will bring. 

It's getting harder to let the chase get me excited anymore. I used to think with my next purchase I will finally be there, and I'll have what I have been looking for. I kind of think of it as Audio delusion: a false sense of being. In reality it's only a temporary state until my mind tells me I need something better! LOL 

I always seem to screw things up by upgrading when I have my system sounding the best. 

I started to see the light when every year companies are raising the prices on the same components by 15-20%. This is much higher than 5-7% inflation rate we have seen in the past 4 years. What gives? Greed!

Heading to Axpona this weekend. Just another sign I haven’t reached my end point. 😂
