Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?
@uberwaltz in ten years our gear will be vintage and sought after enviously;)

Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?
I thought I was done,stopped reading the magazines and stopped coming on here for several years.But then got the urge to try something new and I'm baaack. I am pretty much done now,retirement means my disposable income is curtailed.I'm happy to re... 
Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile?
