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.

Don't make mistakes...Buy the right equipment the first time, and you won't fall into the upgrade trap. I have all the money I want for this hobby, but spending it foolishly just isn't for me. Quality doesn't cost, it pays. Happy listening.
Take an interest in something else or your system will never be completed. When it comes to sales Johnny Boey is the order of the day.
Look at the upgrading AS the merry-go-round. A treadmill getting you nowhere, or even worse, REVOLVING CREDIT. It's not that hard to jump off if you look at other things being the finer things in life, not just stereo.
