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 😂!

Which transporter turntable did you buy?

I own a Transrotor Bob S turntable, With an acoustic solid 12 inch arm

And a Benz micro ebony L cartridge.

 

I couldn’t be happier…Truly, my endgame turntable, and a pride of my system

I'm right there with others on settling down and enjoying what I have. I think we place too much emphasis on the equipment not the recordings when something doesn't sound right. Most of the time we should lay blame on the recordings when we feel the need to fix something which seems to never end.

Yes but only because money’s too tight to mention. I feel fortunate, however, because my system has never, ever been better. So the break from contemplating “what’s next” has been an eye (ear?) opener. I’ve been forced to deeply consider what I’m hearing and how I go to this point and what, if anything, I would have done differently. That’s opened up a lot of things for me. Weird how life works like that sometimes.

Yep, done I think.  From many boxes to minimum.  Aavik, Borresen, Ansuz. See system.
