Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?

I was catching up on my back issues of Stereophile when I came across this article.   I believe this sums it up.

Read part of that article and it hits home. It’s a craving for something new, not necessarily better, that is behind the urge make a change.

I’ve reached the point where I’m bored with audio gear.  Have a room full of excesses, like 20 pairs of speakers, a few amps and preamps, etc. and the excitement I used to feel when I saw all my gear is pretty much gone. Trying to downsize, but the market seems slow, especially since I won’t ship any of the larger items.

I’ve gone through two cycles (I think) of stepping away from audio but I don’t recall them to be because the gear totally bored me. Other reasons were involved, as I recall.

This go-around feels different.

What level of equipment is it that you have so much? Maybe you could try to sell a lot of it and move up to the next level? LOL, that's not something a person who has reached the end point wants to hear!

There is two aspects in this hobby:

Money and budget...

Knowledge mainly acoustics...

I am done because i cannot go beyond my budget which is very low for audio...

I am done because anyway i know how to embed in his three working dimensions any system at any price... I had learned what to do then i am done.... I listen music and change a piece of gear if one do not work well ... Thats all...

(I added a few Helmholtz resonators to my room today.... but it is only fine tuning...)

 I am glad because my headphone system and speakers system gave astonishing result only because of my  optimization work then i am proud... And no one change his own painting creation for a Picasso copy on his wall ...

We are proud of what we do ourselves, not of what anybody can purchase if he had the money....
