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 think if you are an Audiophile there’s never going to be final end point. Audiophiles will always find a need to fix something. It’s an inherent gene that we all carry! 😂

I agree there is no end point.   But if you want an end point, you'll have to live life as a hermit.  Stop audio subscriptions, stay away from audio forums like this one, don't listen to anyone else's system, and don't talk to other audiophiles.  Hard to do.

Not quite but my desire to buy anything new is losing energy.  Kind of like a swinging pendulum.  It is still moving back and forth but the arc is becoming smaller every passing year.
