Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?

OK we all know what a merry-go-round audio can be. For those of us who are incessant upgraders, what components have you found that either have stopped or seriously curtailed your search for better?

For me its my Audio Tekne Cables and my vintage Classe DR3 amps (25 wpc high current class A design designed by Dave Reisch in the early days of the company). My Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3s would probably fall into this category, but I would probably buy the next statement models that Roy Johnson builds sight unheard.

Everything in my system is as good as I can afford/appreciate except (maybe) a more expensive (better?) cartridge at some point, but I'm not particularly even jonesing for that right now!

Well, my Reference 3A MM DeCapos have been in my system longer than any other component and I don't actively look at speaker ads with any kind of intent, so I guess they qualify.

I was luck enough to buy a perfect pair about 3 years ago for $1000. I just can't imagine finding a better deal on another pair of speakers, so I've basically quit looking.

Now, when I move into my new home in a year and have a much larger listening room, all bets are off!

Enjoy,

Magnepan 3.6R driven by Wolcott P220 mono amps. This combination seems to get everything right in my listening room and with the genre I listen to most, Classical and jazz vinyl.

Shimmery highs, mid-range to die for...devastatingly good bass, only a cd player upgrade and Behringer DCX-2496 in my future.
