Depends upon what your goal was at the beginning. For me, it's a journey to better musical enjoyment, and the spirit of continuous improvement on the gear side has collaterally opened my ears to music I'd never heard before. The classic rock I grew up with is now the occasional listen, while I explore the endless caverns and forms of jazz and international music with a splash of classical thrown in here and there. When I upgrade a piece in the system, it's driven more now by soft features (convenience) or curiosity (single ended amps), or the desire to compare (recently bought a little 832A Nobsound amp just to hear how ChiFi compared with my better amps. It was a good value for $50, but not a player). I don't really want to arrive at the destination just yet, but could easily live with what I've got for the rest of my days.
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 😂!
