I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading?

Buy some new music, treat yourself to a top shelf version of your favorite adult beverage, and have yourself a moment with your system.  Ultimately, the destination isn't really about audio. 

I feel pretty much the same way.  After so many years of anything, it can start to get old, including high end audio.  Although my love and passion for the music never gets old, the things you described about high end audio got old for me many years ago.  I've been filtering out most of the BS associated with the hobby for many years now.  At this juncture, I mainly concentrate on relaxing, enjoying and engrossing myself in the wonderful audio system I painstakingly and lovingly assembled together that brings me so much warmth and musical delight.  Life can be simple.  Happy listening.    

Early on in my audiophile journey in discover/learning phase, seeking out the knowledgeable and hearing as many systems as possible, exciting times, full of desire for all the things I didn't have, Then went into acquiring phase, thus, began the merry go round, discovering what I wanted out of my own system. There were many success and failures during this phase, luckily I was able to see the failures as learning experience, finding listening bliss was an elusive goal, but I couldn't give up, I could just as well call this the addiction phase. Over time I learned and acquired and/or modified equipment to my exact listening preferences to the point where I'm pretty much settled on a end game system, still making small, incremental changes not so much out of need, rather to maintain my interest in audiophile hobby. I"ve attained the sound quality I always dreamed of, the audiophile in me keeps the addiction going. It will likely take circumstances beyond my control to end my pursuit of change really for change sake.

The pendulum of suffering: when you get what you’re after, you’re bored. When you don’t get it, you’re frustrated. Either way, you lose. This is basic Schopenhauer, but it applies to the hobby of audio.

It's clear -- you're tired of chasing goals. That makes a lot of sense.

The path out of this is, as some here are saying, to shift to activities that don’t involve specific goals. Kieran Setiya writes about this in his recent book Midlife. Setiya, to crib from a recent piece on this, "argues that “atelic” activities — things we enjoy for their own sake — make us fulfilled. Too often, he states, we are consumed with “telic” activities: goal-driven projects that leave us unsatisfied in the present. (The terms derive from “telos,” the Greek word for “goal.”)

“What really matters is that some important things in your life, things you regard as sources of meaning, are atelic,” Setiya says. “Reading, or walking, or thinking about philosophy, or parenting, or spending time with your friends or family are activities that don’t have an endpoint built in. There isn’t a sense that in doing it you’re exhausting it, as if you could complete the project of hanging out with your friends.”
