Diminishing Returns


I’ve reached a point, after much tweaking in my system thanks to Audiogon, I’m moving away from the forum. I’ve gotten to a place where I’m so satisfied with my system that further improvements, while I’m sure they will work, I don’t care.  I used to read  with great interest the weekly listing of the most popular posts.  I’m now finding it boring.  I think It’s time to get off the Merry-Go-Round.
Aside from the “Music” posts” that will be it.

I keep the audio economy in good shape. Yes, I have been satisfied, amazed and wowed several times during the past few decades. I wouldn't change a thing, except I wish that I still had those golden ears of my youth. All in all, it has been a wonderful experience.... except when I am driven crazy by a dying component, or a new listening room,  and more!
This place is a great read you learn alot and also read about some crazy people  Its a comedy read to.interesting and at times laughable, that's fantastic. 
Years ago, when I could see the "light at the end of the tunnel" for my kids' college expenses, I began a several year journey to change this, upgrade that, etc.  My system is at the point now where I'm "satisfied" and like the original post, will be taking a break from the upgrade cycles.  At this point I think that I'm at a "diminishing returns" threshold, where that curve is on an extremely vertical trajectory.

Having said that, I enjoy "networking" with people who are curious, like most audiophiles, enjoy learning new things from the postings here.
@buellrider,
I agree with you.
I find it sad that so many people need to say something unkind, rather than not sharing such opinions.
I also agree that Richard is a great guy, too.
