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.

sometimes going retro will get you off the merry go round for a longer period of time...its less expensive too.

True, JRD, besides, no one has reinvented the wheel and there are classics and classics sleepers around! Cheers,

I'm am completely done. That's it, finished, I have reached the peek, the hilltop, the top of the mountain. I really mean it, well for now anyway. Well come to think of it, maybe not, someone (he knows who he is) is sending me new power cords to try again. So I guess I am back on, at least for a few more days and oh yeah, a dealer wants me to try the new Accuphase SACD/CD player but then I am done for sure, right? Yes. Well I may also want to try that Audio Note DAC I have heard about, but then I am done, well at least until I get to hear a few new speakers, yeah then I am done, finished, no more. Well does anyone know what the next greatest thing that is coming to market this year? Oh I forgot, I am done.

At least then I will be, I am sure of it!
