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.

Mrtennis, good one, I think you have spoken from the heart as your statement is consistant with most all of your posts. Well done!

Cdc, I have done just that and my room of choice was the bathroom. Just rig it to start playing music everytime you flush the toilet, you will reach a rational decision.

I just realized that my dedicated circuits put in 22 years ago are my oldest system parts.

Look at the upgrading AS the merry-go-round. A treadmill getting you nowhere, or even worse, REVOLVING CREDIT. It's not that hard to jump off if you look at other things being the finer things in life, not just stereo.
