How does one get off the merry-go-round?

I'm interested in hearing from or about music lovers who have dropped out of the audio "hobby." I don't mean you were content with your system for 6 weeks. I mean, you stood pat for a long time, or--even better--you downsized...maybe got rid of your separates and got an integrated.

(I suppose if you did this, you probably aren't reading these forums any more.)

If this sounds like a cry for help, well, I dunno. Not really. I'm just curious. My thoughts have been running to things like integrated amps and small equipment racks and whatnot even as I continue to experiment and upgrade with vigor (I'm taking the room correction plunge, for example.) Just want to hear what people have to say on the subject.

You gain the wisdom to know that nothing is perfect and when your enjoying your system to leave well enough alone. Their (mags) are always going to tell you something is better, and they work on the fear that something will lead to seeing god, which you learn is never the case. You can make huge changes just by improving your room which is 50% of the final sound.

Going through gear like socks you will never find a system that you like because you have to work with any system to get the most enjoyment out of it.
