I'm done Really

Famous last words! I say I'm done all of the time. Still hasn't happened that way though. For some reason I feel a certain obligation to keep buying and trying and selling and tweaking. It seems to be an insatiable need for newer and better.
Had to sell my tube amps because I developed a terrible tube habit in search of the best sounding tube combo.
Now that I'm strictly solid state my habit went from tubes to speaker cables. On my 3rd set in the past couple of months and the 4th set just got shipped out to me yesterday. I'm also having a new pair of speakers built. What's next? Since I've basically turned my system over at least twice in the past 6 months, I think I can safely say now that I'm done...really! But probably not if I keep coming through audiogon 5 or 6 times a day!
Oh well. Like you...I love the hobby.
Have fun everybody and happy listening.

Part of my addiction is this site. I just come here to look around, then I see someone recommends this cable and someone recommends that mod, then I see a deal in the classifieds that if I don't jump on immediately, I'll surely never get the chance again.

I always tell me wife, "at least it's not drugs or women".

Which one did you upgrade, the TAD 150 or the McCormick DNA?
I´ve gone to an integraded and couldn´t be happier... no itch to upgrade yet... (been 6 weeks).

No itch to replace the TAD 150 yet. I replaced the McCormack, with another McCormack. I know have the one I used to have. I went back to a DNA 1 from the DNA 0.5. Much better low end control with the Vandersteens. Now I really want to send it to SMC Audio for upgrades AND I want to go to the Vandersteen 3a's from 2ce's. But that's a ways off. We've got a couple of trips planned over the next few months, so I'm done. REALLY!

Arni-
What integrated did you go with? I've always liked integrated amps, in theory. I know there are some very nice ones out there, but I've yet to find one that I liked as much as separates, dollar-for-dollar. My McCormack, TAD combo cost me about $1500. If I could find an integrated for that price, that has as much power and sounds as good, I'd buy it. I wish McCormack made an integrated, I really like the sound of his amps.
