The other day while at work, I thought about all of the money I've sunk into this hobby. Just purchased new power cords, am waiting for a record cleaning machine to be delivered, ordered some record cleaning solution, new brushes to clean the records with...then thought I must be sick. Seriously thought about selling the whole thing, and getting out the old Marantz receiver, Denon cdp, and Altec speakers to fend off the possible future urge to upgrade. But then I regained my sanity....or is that my insanity????? There's no escape.
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
I'm interested in hearing from or about music lovers who have dropped out of the audio "hobby." I don't mean you were content with your system for 6 weeks. I mean, you stood pat for a long time, or--even better--you downsized...maybe got rid of your separates and got an integrated.
(I suppose if you did this, you probably aren't reading these forums any more.)
If this sounds like a cry for help, well, I dunno. Not really. I'm just curious. My thoughts have been running to things like integrated amps and small equipment racks and whatnot even as I continue to experiment and upgrade with vigor (I'm taking the room correction plunge, for example.) Just want to hear what people have to say on the subject.
