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 😂!

There is two aspects in this hobby:

 

Money and budget...

Knowledge mainly acoustics...

 

I am done because i cannot go beyond my budget which is very low for audio...

I am done because anyway i know how to embed in his three working dimensions any system at any price... I had learned what to do then i am done.... I listen music and change a piece of gear if one do not work well ... Thats all...

(I added a few Helmholtz resonators to my room today.... but it is only fine tuning...)

 I am glad because my headphone system and speakers system gave astonishing result only because of my  optimization work then i am proud... And no one change his own painting creation for a Picasso copy on his wall ...

We are proud of what we do ourselves, not of what anybody can purchase if he had the money....
