Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?

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?

@audioman58 - I have been over here in Japan the past two weeks and seeing Crowns everywhere.  I don’t remember seeing any back in Michigan. They are so sweet!

Mitch they are pretty nice the 2026 model I think a redesign ,if so I am all in .

@troustreamnm I agree, if you shop smart, i.e., good brands with great reputations that can be serviced if needed, you can pick up some great gear on the cheap and put together a great system. Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, Cary Audio, Klipsch, vintage Crown, vintage Infinity, Focal, and Vienna Acoustics to name a few that  I’ve acquired along the way.

And no, apparently I’m not done, just bought a pair of Klipsch Heresy II in great shape for $750, my eighth pair of speakers to pair with a used Cary 300SEI in my fifth set up! If anyone has the contact info for Audiophiles Anonymous, I’d appreciate it. 😇
