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?

Now that you've found the dog you like, do you still have the residual urge to keep upgrading your menagerie of
pets, still read pet magazine and hang around pet shops, or have you conquered that?

I can't stop upgrading AND I just got a 12 week old Golden Retriever named Maggie....God, I hope I don't start hanging around dog shows now :)

Joy, trust me one is a LOT easier than two, especially when pups. The work becomes exponentialy greater than the sum of actual dogs.

In Boston, you can join ArtsBoston and get lots of 1/2 price tix to great live music. Handel & Haydn's performance last night of Italian Christmas (Pergolesi, Durante, Corelli, et al), equalled that of the Boston Baroque's Messiah the previous Saturday...and both in our glorious Jordan Hall. Best of all, there are usually enough unsold seats so that I can obsessively try at least 2 different listening positions, but Ellen sometimes puts the brake on that audio-nervosa....Happy Holidays to all!
