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.

Schubert, in my case, being retired, quality reproduction of classic performances no longer relax me at the end of the day, but as long as I can hear and am alive, I will still occasionally shout "bravo" at the end of some cuts.

My dad needed music and evidently passed on the genes.

Swinfrey,

Life itself is a merry-go-round. IMO, the best we can do is find one we love and stick to it, giving it meaning and value. For me this applies to work and as well as other endeavors.

Schubert,

If you believe in the afterlife then I don't think death will solve this problem.

Well Sabai, we shall see or not. I only worry about things I can change and seldom about even that.

In my case, I'm pretty sure it will be death.

Ha! Good one!
