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.

I was very fortunate, while in my hunt for a affordable amp,
I heard and eventually picked up an Sar Lab Mos 400 amp.
I have now built my system around it....no regrets.

I took alot of flak from audiophile friends because this amp isn't a "big named product" but hearing is believing...
Haven't seen a component to make me stop shopping. My tubed Pre-Amp does have the nicest tubed H/P amp I've ever heard, though. Is that going to make me stop?
