Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?

@troustreamnm I agree, if you shop smart, i.e., good brands with great reputations that can be serviced if needed, you can pick up some great gear on the cheap and put together a great system. Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, Cary Audio, Klipsch, vintage Crown, vintage Infinity, Focal, and Vienna Acoustics to name a few that  I’ve acquired along the way.

And no, apparently I’m not done, just bought a pair of Klipsch Heresy II in great shape for $750, my eighth pair of speakers to pair with a used Cary 300SEI in my fifth set up! If anyone has the contact info for Audiophiles Anonymous, I’d appreciate it. 😇

Do y'all remember why we bought all this gear in the first place?  Try to enjoy the music again!

Anyone who is active on Audiogon is far from done. I tell myself I'm done but oh man! AXPONA is coming and I just need to go and have fun.

Trying to expand business and kids going to college, coming up on 52 I am content. I found what draws me into the music after too many years of poking around. Part of my fun was trial and error and what helped was having a dealer/friend in the business when I really started putting things together, and occasionally stumbling upon a great deals, typically local pickup, and the person just wants in gone.

I'm not done and still check the classified's because occasionally something makes "sense." I just know I wouldn't want to be unloading gear in this environment unless it's something with a 6 plus month waitlist new. 

Watching from the side of the merry go round but still feeling the breeze of it moving.

Tariffs and general state of world economies may have finally cured me, we'll see how long this insanity lasts.
