How to stop upgrading and aviod going bankrupt????

So I've built my system, and I love it. I don't want to get into the whole buy/sell/buy loop where I am constatly upgrading, and I certainly don't have the money to do so. But I am obsessed.

I love reading about high end audio, but it's not THAT satisfying. I can't keep running into my dealer's to hear things if I know I am not going to buy. It's not fair to him. And I keep hearing about new products coming out, and wonder if they are better than what I have. Maybe I should stop reading, but I enjoy it.

How do you deal with the upgrade bug?

It went over mine too--although a little voice did whisper, a second after I hit the "Submit" button, when I realized I had read you before on this site. Women who both understand and participate in the hobby are rare.

I guess a lot of us do worry about being obsessed. The more so when we realize that the makers and sellers know how to get us !

So, what music does your dog like to dance to ?

My dog is particularly fond of Central/South American music. I'm not kidding. Maybe he likes the rythums. I can't even take credit. He's liked it since the day we brought him home. He also enjoys classical.

The other night, however, we were dancing to Sting. :) Not typical dance music, but he desn't know that. He puts his paws on my shoulders and asks to be twirred around the room. How lucky can a girl get?
