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 agree with some of the points above that the synergy of the room has a huge effect on the quality of your listening experience.  Over the years I have made numerous improvements and I am currently content with my system.  I frequently visit retail stores, high-end club meetings, and as many high-end setups as I can and I keep trying to find one that sounds better than mine and I can't.  My system is relatively modest compared to some of the systems I listen to, but for me it works.  I get almost equal gratification from knowing that I bought every piece I own as lightly used, second hand equipment - and for me, that makes it sounds even better. 

I suppose I may upgrade something at some point down the road, but at this point I am 100% happy with my system and I love listening to it.
