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.

First Heard'em;
Then drooled over 'em, all the while fantasizing over 'em; and ...
finally SOLD OFF MY ENTIRE EXISTING SYSTEM and bought 'em ... AND NEVER LOOKED BACK.

REGA ISIS VALVE CDP
REGA OSIRIS INTEGRATED AMP
REGA R9 SPEAKERS

CHECK 'EM OUT, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

Well, I still have my Jm Lab Mini Utopias, that must count for something. But just like a happily married man, I might stop searching, but I’ll probably never stop looking :-)

I have to agree with Ohm speakers. They are wonderful.

My new Breeze speakers from Vapor Audio. These are some of the best speakers I have ever heard regardless of price, and they are silly inexpensive. I got mine custom built, redwwod burl, matching stands with crossover in the stands,
amorphous core Raal tweeter, and Dueland resistors. This is my last speaker puchase! See my reviews if interested.
