AA for us

The thing that I've found helpful is stop reading message boards where people talk about how great component x is or speaker y is. Secondly, be comfortable with your system and not be looking for the next thing to "upgrade." Lastly, when people tell you things like the Shakti Hallograph or Marigo Tuning Dots making a difference in the sound of their system, realize that they have drunk the flavoured water and should not be trusted with audio advice. 

@roadcykler it is definitely fuel to the fire. I shall take a break, go to rehab, drink Peri Peri.

We should consider our gears as music instrument .        

Once we buy a piano or a violon ; we keep it a very long time . We don't sell theme  after two years , just because there are new ones on the market .

@maxwave it's not about the new ones on the market but all the old ones I had never heard 

"Addiction" can be a valuable tool when it comes to finally achieving the goal of owning a fine sound system. Wouldn't have it any other way. It was worth the trip. Some accomplishments require obsession.
