I think discovering good new music is where money should be spent. With that being said, I have wasted a lot of money on music that isn't that good. This can be said for poor vinyl pressings that seem to be common these days.
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 😂!

I was catching up on my back issues of Stereophile when I came across this article. I believe this sums it up. https://www.stereophile.com/content/audiophiles-dilemma

I’ve reached the point where I’m bored with audio gear. Have a room full of excesses, like 20 pairs of speakers, a few amps and preamps, etc. and the excitement I used to feel when I saw all my gear is pretty much gone. Trying to downsize, but the market seems slow, especially since I won’t ship any of the larger items. I’ve gone through two cycles (I think) of stepping away from audio but I don’t recall them to be because the gear totally bored me. Other reasons were involved, as I recall. This go-around feels different. |
that's not something a person who has reached the end point wants to hear!- 203 posts total
