Yes, I've slowed down and simplified. For the most part I simply got tired of chasing something that I could never really identify. I also found a sound/system that I like a lot (!) while also realizing nothing is perfect so why look for it. It also helps if you can find a brand that you like the sound of that builds a full range of components and settle into that kind of system. For me it was Audio Note. A relatively inexpensive pair of speakers, some good wire, an integrated amp, AN digital, and music. Good and good enough. I'm sure I'll always have an interest in audio equipment, but I've found something that gives me immense pleasure musically and I'm going to stick with that for a long while.
Anyway, for those with cash to burn that doesn't mean that they should stay on the merry go round forever. All of us should have an interest in many things in life and not obsess over any one thing.
One thing that you could work on if you get the itch soon is the room. That's an area that I'm sure most of us can make inexpensive worthwhile improvements.
Let me add that if indeed you don't know what to do with yourself without the audio chase then it ia clearly time for you to move on and expand your horizons!
