Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?

Same here, I've had excellent luck with SACD player 306 Cary Professional, used, McIntosh Amp used, Marantz Receiver open box, AV123 LS6 GR Research Speakers used, Empire 598 turntable used, OPPO 203 DVD Player used, All JBL speakers I have for surround sound system were used, as is my wiring for the entire system, If I had bought everything new, my system would have cost me around $43,ooo, as is used $19,ooo, and it sounds great, I go to audio shows, listen to the newest stuff, then come home and play my system and am perfectly happy with what I got, I highly recommend get everything you can used, you save so much that way.  

I certainly could be, and probably should be, but for some reason I have a new DAC on the way. I don’t understand why this stuff happens.

mitch2 “I don’t understand why this stuff happens”. I fell off my chair laughing when I read that. Everyone here on the gone should have that sentence scribed on a marble plaque above their listening area.

Yes  when the Mrs see $4 figure deductions and my hobby she can’t justify when she feels it’s unimportant , for the short term ,She just bought a New Toyota Crown 

so for me game back on , and when funds runout ,and forced to make more money and save .. it truly never ends , speaking for myself at almost 67 I am starting to build a end game system ,I have 2 + Audio systems one is the wife’s ,-mine to switch gear around . After throwing my back out with a 100 lb amp went out has to be fixed ,then I am selling it .

I may get away from separates my brother has a Gryphon Diablo I have wanted 

and I have a Accuphase 4000 integrated  just put it in place and leave it ,

will 

I'm not sure--maybe? I love my gear but I also like window shopping and tweaking them every now and then. I'm going to Axpona for the first time next week so I'm sure I'm going to find some interesting new gear to investigate. But knowing the prices will probably be going up soon, I may need to buy sooner. Who knows?
