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.

Dynaudio sapphires!

Running them with the Sim audio I-7 integrated and Supernova CD player. Will not upgrade the Supernova, however the I-7 may turn into a P-8 and W-7 amp later down the road...

Nothing ever stops me from looking.

given most of the equipment listed isn't exactly as old as the family dog, i think its safe to say not many in this hobby have been married to anything.

Gain skill in TT building and design made me stop looking at any turntables out there.

Dodd audio made me stop looking at preamps.

Consonance Cyber 800 modify by Bob Backert stop me from searching for new tube power amp.

AAD 2001 monitors end the search for small speakers for second system. As well as RWA amp to go with it.

I am still looking for better speakers (for the $$$$) then Vandersteen Quatro. No luck so far.
