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?

I see no way for an OP that asks the burning question, Can the addiction of Audio Nervosa be cured., to spiral out of control. I’m at a loss for an explanation. Maybe Uber nose 🤥

Uber here’s an old army expression: never poop in your own mess kit.
@MG-Oh, jeez. You know, not every one lives, breathes and obsessed over all things audio every waking moment. Some of us actually have lives and interests outside the hobby. So terribly sorry that a little friendly socialising goes off topic now and again. If this offends your sensibilities or irks you to the point of throwing a wet blanket on your perception of what rigid standards this forum should adhere to, perhaps one should look for the exit door and return to his more controlling surroundings. In other words, if you don’t like the ’tune’, change the record.....
Whoa people
Anybody who watches my posts knows I am more than up for humour and somewhat snide and snarky posts a lot of the time, jeez louise!

But MG does have a valid point.

There is a big difference to a thread being derailed by excess troll activity and just some light hearted banter injection.

No I do not think this thread has reached troll activity levels yet but many potentially good threads have.

And GK I was being kind... no pooping in my thread please!

Sorry carp, they’re called audio forums :)

Nothing wrong with humor, I'm chuckling a little as I speak. It's just that many of the threads here get dumbed down so quickly it takes away from the readers wanting to actually be a part of serious listening practices and learning. You may not wish to go as far as the next guy, but shouldn't you give them the choice?

Sorry, Uber, I almost forgot you’re the star. 💃 Thanks for being kind. 🤗
