All of what you post makes sense except it begs one question: Why hand in your "audiophile badge" just because you are tired of the craziness?
I have never done most of the things you complain about, and yet I consider myself an audiophile.
Sounds like you want to refocus and downsize, which is great. Lots of folks here have done that without feeling they have handed in their badge. Fellow inmate reelsmith (Dean) pared his system waaaaay back, and seems to be enjoying the hobby all the more for doing it.
I don't think craziness is inherent in this hobby even if it is prevalent. :-)
