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.

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.

Ebm, given your bent for exaggeration, I must say I expect that within a year, your list will be entirely different.

I have never thought that anything would stop me for further looking. Probably the closest I ever got was the Decca London cartridge in the 60s. I still have two around here somewhere.
