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 😂!

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.

 I would profer the opinion that anyone still reading and contributing to sites like this, has probably not finished buying.  Sites like this are enablers.  They feed our lust for the next best thing.  I've finished my last system and have moved on to the building of the proper space for it.  When that is done, I will likely disconnect from all the audio sites and just enjoy the music.  Just like the best way not to drink, is to stay out of bars.  The best way to stop buying, is to stop hanging out with those who are?  Cheers.

It just doesn’t seem as exciting anymore, the chase and pursuit of something new with the expectation of the thrill it will bring.

Done.... Took 60 years but I'm finally happy. Bill Dudledson at Legacy had a lot to do with it. Lyngdorf supplied the finishing touch. That's it, I quit...
