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.

I'm afraid that I am the bearer of horrible news. Pubul57 has passed away. I just recently learned of this via a thread started 4/18/12 under the category of "best of" in the Audiogon forums. He has been a active member of this audio community for quite sometime as well as this thread. He will be sorely missed!

Phd- Yes, very sad news. He was a very helpful and loved member here.
So... your point is that dying is a way to get off the merry-go- round ?

Isochronism, I don't think Pubul57 was on the merry go round to that degree anyway, mostly active in the forums. Case in point, I believe this thread was one of the last he participated in.

As far as getting off the merry-go-round, we all will eventually take that big leap one way or another.

phd- Now I understand why you chose this thread to post about Pubul.
When I originally read the thread about Pubul, I read all of his archived posts.
He was a real asset.
