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 😂!

In the words of the great Bluto, "was it over when the Germans bombed pearl harbor?" 

For those addicted or feel they can give it up.  If you have the space, buy and keep.  I have much. 

If you've lost your spark, you need to bring others into your addiction.  I have given away, loaned out and sold much.  While listening to your music on your perfect system can bring great joy.  Just give someone, who doesn't have the affliction, some of your older dust collectors.  You'd be amazed at how much musical ability you might have, that's just collecting dust.  Music brings so much warmth to the soul.  Share it.  I had a great friend that was in final stages, only a few days.  Also a audio addict.  I took one of his systems and hooked up in the room he was leaving the earth and we cranked some wonderful tunes.  I instructed hospice to play it as loud as they wanted.  He was unconscious, but appeared to smiling.  Now that was a playlist.
