This is a hobby that people listen to equipment and not musiic. Or is a hoarder and want to collect every nice looking equipment out there. I fall in hoader category. But love to listen to music with the different sound signatures equipment have to offer. Blessed to have the options. For me, Yamaha equipment rocks as its so musical and it does not cost as much as one would think.
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 😂!
