Yes, I'm done. I will continue to support the hobby by attending some of the Audio shows, but my days of spending money on this hobby are over.
Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby?
I wonder if out there somewhere there’s a support group called Audiophile Anonymous 😂 that addresses Audiophiles constant need for perfection. For my self I would probably benefit from a couple of these group sessions. Putting humor aside there’s some truth to this hobby being addictive and at some point there has to be an end point where you are there and the need to upgrade serves no useful purpose. I can’t say I’m 100% there yet, but something inside me tells me I’m getting close to hitting rock bottom and when I do maybe I’ll see the light, or maybe not 😂!

@barts +1 "Any "upgrade" could easily be a downgrade.” -so true! |
@drrsutliff it sounds like you’ve had a great ride in this enjoyable hobby! Yes, we are likely close in age. I turned 65 this past summer and enjoy music more now than I ever have; even if my hearing is no longer what it once was. Every once in awhile i’ll find an old ad or a two sided brochure from companies like Tech Hi-Fi, with color pictures of a typical audio system of the time; a turntable, receiver, cassette deck, reel to reel and a pair of speakers. All those colorful lights were a visual feast for the eyes, and of course these audio systems offered us a gateway into what would eventuallly become the wonderful memories of first discovering music! |
