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.

@stilljim - Hey Jim! How the heck are you? It's been years. Hope all is well. BTW, I still hang out occasionally with a few guys from the local Audiophile Group, but I don't really fit in either.

I'm having a beer and listening to The Alarm at the moment. Just wouldn't work with those audiophile guys......

However, Elizabeth, if I wanted to be very audiophile concrete to the point of idiocy, I would suggest big time upgrading of one of the components, something that would make real difference, jump in the performance. But you just spent so much on cd player and probably can't do it right away. No matter, it's an idea for the near future. Table/arm perhaps ? Power amps ? What would it take to seriously outperform your Bryston amps ? I don't know, but others do. Gryphons almost certainly but they are too expensive even used. Lamm hybrids maybe ?

OP : Maybe you need to DIY something. :) Make your own cables, or a pair of speakers or something.

You like power cords, why not make a couple?
