Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?

I’ve read that this is a particular type of addiction. I’ll have to find the article. It has to do with perfectionism and trying to find something that is so elusive that the journey is the addiction. The article mentioned that the breakdown in gender is 75% male, 25% female, which accounts for the heavily skewed male presence in the industry. Always wondered, because there are just as many female artists in both rock and classical, and of course listeners,!so it never made sense to me before. 

There are those that continually buy…, it’s new it’s better, perhaps giving them a boasting platform. Many tweak the daylights out of a mid fi hoping to achieve high end. Then there’s a select few that have endless bank and nothing better to do. I’m with a group having several hobbies and found audio pleasure researching, building, restoring, older accredited high-end equipment that exceeds many a current product. It’s entertaining, economical, and delivers a profound boasting platform, damn good yesteryear can equate to excellent today. Many paths to entertaining music, cheers. 

YEAH, I'm totally done getting new equipment. 

However, looking at some used speakers, thinking about getting a new cartridge, oh, yea, want to upgrade all my interconnects, and speaker cables.....

yea, I'm done getting new things......

"There is no better sound and there won't be better sound than my current audio system forever” - live music perhaps? 

+1 "Much easy to quit smoking than to stop upgrading stereo equipment” LOL
