If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it…

I just bought the amp and speakers of my dreams, not to mention a new TT and cartridge

congratulations!

I'm sure this thread will make more sense to me in about 6 months.

Be prepared!

try to monetize several pieces into one really nice piece to lower my box count.

good strategy, I’ve done the same, although the purchase always precedes the selling :(  Do you still have the itch to tweak?

It's sort of like a heroin addiction if your habit was limited by your income and you could sell your old heroin

I think used heroin may be worth more than the gear I’m selling now 😭, sadly

Hello,
It sounds like you need a new power cables and some IsoAcoustic or Townshend gear. I say get demoing. What else have you got going on?

I tend to hit a spot with all of my hobbies where I think I won’t spend another cent, because I am in a good place with all of them but my reading or Forum discussions stimulate the desire to purchase.  For example, I listen to Classical Music and read magazines that review recordings.  Every time I tell myself that I don’t need a new cycle of Beethoven recordings, about 3 months later I break down.  Streaming has helped curb the impulse purchases but since it exposes me to more music I haven’t really saved any money.  Any way, why should Audio be different?
