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.

Classe' CP-800 Preamp. The Preamp is one of the finest I have heard. The DAC built in IS the best I've heard. The headphone amp is outstanding. Bass management function is awesome. Flawless HT bypass. The product truly is revolutionary. I could go on....

After years of change I purchased a pair of Quicksilver V4 mono amps. I am finally done changing amplifiers.

Calloway, I appreciate your kind offer. If I ever have another cause to be in the East, I would hasten to give you a call. Alas, being retired there are few business trips.

My current system as is, cables and all. Especially cables, thank God! I turned into a neurotic crazy nutcase looking for the right ICs for my system. Turned out that for me, I preferred copper for all cables (SC, IC, and PC). That really helped me zero in on what was best for me. So I am done looking. Though will still go out to hear other equipment, but only out of curiosity. Not because I am dissatisfied in any way. (Chose to not list my equipment here. You can look up my system if curious.)
