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. ---dan Drubin  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 06-07-01

Follow those "in the know" and trust their judgement... after all it is impossible to listen to everything that is out there and the constant change of the Merry-go-round strongly suggests there is a lot of gear out there that leaves people underwhelmed.
