Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?

OK we all know what a merry-go-round audio can be. For those of us who are incessant upgraders, what components have you found that either have stopped or seriously curtailed your search for better?

For me its my Audio Tekne Cables and my vintage Classe DR3 amps (25 wpc high current class A design designed by Dave Reisch in the early days of the company). My Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3s would probably fall into this category, but I would probably buy the next statement models that Roy Johnson builds sight unheard.

Intuitive Design Summit loudspeakers (model PSL 624). I wrote an unsolicited review back in November, 2005, and it's posted on Audiogon. The review sounds over the top, but every word is true. These speakers are just magical.

Silversmith Audio for all of your cable needs. I'm wired up with Jeffrey Smith's silver interconnects and speaker cable and am off the cable merry-go-round. Done searching, done wanting. Jeffrey's customer service rivals no one's. He's approachable, answeres the phone, and calls you back if he's not in.

DarTZeel amp and preamp- simply the best combo I have ever owned or heard. Build quality and pride of ownership if off the charts.
