Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?

I wonder if out there somewhere there’s a support group called Audiophile Anonymous 😂 that addresses Audiophiles constant need for perfection. For my self I would probably benefit from a couple of these group sessions. Putting humor aside there’s some truth to this hobby being addictive and at some point there has to be an end point where you are there and the need to upgrade serves no useful purpose. I can’t say I’m 100% there yet, but something inside me tells me I’m getting close to hitting rock bottom and when I do maybe I’ll see the light, or maybe not 😂!

Will be interesting to see much the price of admission has changed from moderate to super high end equipment when I get to Chicago later today for Axpona. With the economy and other factors affecting luxury items sales I just don’t see why companies keep pushing the need to build more expensive equipment.” Is there even an end point for them too”?

I think I've reached the end point at least a dozen times. Ever time I think "this is it" an itch to try something different develops. It's an illness, but a fun one at that!
