Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?


I would like to think I am pretty much in audio nirvana right now but supremely well aware how quickly that can change to audio nervosa!

What do think?

Is it really possible to kick the addiction and be done and just sit back and enjoy the music?

Has anybody managed this trick of the mind?

Too funny Tomic.

With the exception of Slaw there is likely no more prolific poster in the music sections than myself.....

I've been searching the classifieds for the last three months, looking for a pair of speakers I could be happy with for the next 10 years, and listening to as many setups as I could, within 100 miles...  Fun experiment, but I finally pulled the plug this weekend and got a pair of Usher Mini-Dancer 2's, then spent most of yesterday afternoon playing with room placement, etc.  My wife passed through on her way to bed, and asked "so are you happy with the new speakers?" And I replied "I THINK so" -- she said you'd better be..., and shuffled off to bed.  I do like these speakers, but 10 years is a long time; I think I may be incurable.
10 years......
My mind cannot even begin to process having the same gear in 10 years time.

10 months maybe.......
@uberwaltz in ten years our gear will be vintage and sought after enviously;)
Music = pleasure.  I'm naturally curious.  I love trying everything I can in life.  I travel, seek new experiences and new perspectives, I'm a foodie too and love to experience different takes on combining ingredients.  Music is just one of life's experiences and for many it nutures our soul.  Some people are happy tasting chocolate every day and others are just curious what other flavors are like or combinations of them. While I could eat a bit of dark chocolate and be somewhat content every day I'd rather taste something else along the way, even at the risk of not liking it....for the experience.Â
