The end comes when you've hit your goal for audio, within a set price range, and you're happy with the sound. I mean, at some point you're simply not going to be able to afford to go much further pricewise (which is the brick wall for me), and you will have already sampled everything within a certain price range. I simply set a price goal for each of my components, and I keep in my head a very specific sound that I'm looking for. I've definitely hit it now, and can really say that I'm done.
It's just a matter of setting some price goals for each component and sticking to them I think...if you don't set price goals and refuse to stop and try to blatantly break those price goals, that's when it becomes a dangerous obsession.
