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 am finished once I: complete my audio room, get the room treatments done, buy another pair of speakers, upgrade my DAC, get a new streamer, and finish about 30 DIY cables I bought bulk cable and connectors for. So nowhere near done

I'm done changing things unless something breaks down. Am I done adding things? Who know but any additions are very few and far between. I still browse the listings but just for entertainment.

I somewhat agree with @gano to the extent that I use audio as an escape from problems and frustrations the world inevitably brings.  I'm grateful that I have audio as a coping mechanism, as it's not bad for my heath, but it can be expensive if not controlled.

If you really had quit, you would not be here.

Therefore, anyone that answers "yes" to this question is lying.

You are mistaken tony, at least with respect to me.  I'm just here for the amusement provided by the antics of those for whom the answer is no.
