[ SLANG ][ AUDIOPHILE ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]
The recurring, hard-won conclusion of veteran hobbyists that no purchase actually ends the upgrade cycle, since taste and priorities keep shifting even after reaching the theoretical top tier.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Sold my flagship, went back to something cheaper I actually liked more — endgame doesn't exist."
LORE & ORIGIN
A counter-narrative that emerges repeatedly once collectors reach a genuinely top-tier setup and find the urge to change gear persists anyway.
