Is it time to just quit?


Time to just quit?                      
Buying audio stuff?                             
Posting to an empty house?                          
My gut feeling is no one is posting in the regular 'free' threads. Maybe they all are paying to post? I could not know, since I am way too cheap to pay to just post 'exclusive'.  Being natural paranoid, I think everyone is posting over there, not here?                                       
Then I also just hit my limit on credit card Paypal. Now I have to become "verified' or no Paypal.    
This also happened at a fortuitous moment, when I was starting to overspend...             
So no buying OR selling here for me (unless I am willing to get the Paypal CC. Which I have to think about)So maybe the Universe is telling me "Time to quit".???  
Not quit listening to music, just NOT buying more stuff and NOT posting more gibberish.

For me, I found I was addicted to the excitement of opening a new brown box.
It was that, "Six year old on Christmas morning" feeling.

Then the best thing imaginable happened to me. I lost 95% of the music in my Mac Mini. I switched to streaming and lost the desire to buy new equipment because when I listened to my Mini I listened to the same stuff over and over and over, constantly critiquing.  I wasn't enjoying. It wasn't fun anymore. It was work. 

Since I've had this awakening, I've realized how much of a racket the high end is. It's a disgrace what manufacturers are charging. 

If you think $2,000 for an interconnect is reasonable, what would your reaction be if your wife came home with a $,2000 mink coat?

I'm out.
