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 started to see the light when every year companies are raising the prices on the same components by 15-20%. This is much higher than 5-7% inflation rate we have seen in the past 4 years. What gives? Greed!

Step One:  I have admitted that I am powerless over my Woofer—that my tweeter has became unmanageable.

Yup! Done....not that I want to be done, because I can no longer afford to do so. What I got is what I got, and I'm ok with that. You can certaiy spiral out of control if not careful. Got myself in a situation with the plastic. No more....

The problem for me is that with every improvement my ability to hear differences gets better. So while I'm happy with what I'm hearing on my current system, it becomes the new baseline for imagining even better.
