ThisThe cure for owning a large pile of inexpensive audio gear is to buy higher quality, more expensive audio gear.
And ThisBuying gear to just buy gear is a great way to tie up a bunch of money and not have any meaningful improvement to show for it.

James. If you are really serious about this, then you must decide to stop the cycle. The cycle begins with looking online for items to buy. So you must cut yourself off from the internet altogether, includes sites like this one. You have to stop the habit of talking about audio and looking at audio. You want to stop spending money, so what are you prepared to do about it?
Once you cut yourself off, you need something else to do, that doesn't involve spending lots of money. A new hobby that doesn't involve the internet. Good luck brother.
I think pretty much all hobbies involve the internet these days, and offer nearly infinite ways to spend money acquiring stuff.James.

Booooo!Just like with dope, admitting you have a problem is the first step toward recovery.
Booooo!
I think his end all components of lust amount to $200,000 so its likely going to be a lifelong endeavor to get there, if ever. Agree though to avoid the junk along the way.research something you have that is not working, pull it out, get the model numbers, do a search online or on here about fixing it, nothing is better then finding out the problem and firing it up again saving something from the trash, or using it for a while in your system, also do not buy 20 black plastic $15 cd players and tape decks, think of what you REALLY WANT, your end all component of lust, and work towards that one thing.
What if they were a pair of Harbeth bookshelf speakers or a Luxman cdp or A killer Sansui receiver?Soon after getting into this game a few years ago, I realized how quickly it could get out of control. The fix for me was to aim for higher end gear.
I simply don't need any $8 pair of bookshelf speakers, no matter how good they are. Or $12 CD players. Or $40 receivers. The pieces I aim for now fetch $300-1000 on the used market, and keeping that in mind is enough let me pass on lower valued gear.
