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.

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.

The Thiel CS7.2 have put a complete stop of looking, and also have removed any envy I might had for any other speakers.
Also once I started adding BAT gear to my system I have not even considered using any other electronics.(except better BAT gear of course)
