Are you ever satisfied?

My 17 year old son was watching me work on my stereo the other day and asking me questions (much to my liking btw) about the turntable and some tweaks and stuff. After a while he asked "Do you think you'll ever be satisfied?" I did not have to think about my reply at all as I already knew the answer to that. I said "I AM already satisfied. I love the way my stereo sounds and if I could never do another thing to upgrade it I could listen happily the rest of my life. But I do enjoy tweaking it, working on it, and finding ways to improve the sound."

How about you?

I stopped tweaking my stereo many a moon ago and I am becoming completely convinced that like real-estate Location Location Location and room treatment are the way to go.I mean spiking and isolation are fine but all that don't mean a hill of beans if your room treatment with speaker placement are not up to snuff.

After my recent purchases yes!...........for now. Just kidding I don't see any changes off in the future as I finally have a sound I'm very happy with. I'm ready to spend more money on music and follow Abucktwoeighty's sage advice. I do enjoy working on the system so I'll always adjust, tweak and just play with it!!

Come on, you know you want tube amps and preamplifier.

I'm down with Jax2's reply. Maybe it's because, like Marco, I'll also turn half a century soon (in June), and I also find tweaking losing it's luster. I'm happier just listening nowadays....life's too short.

Cheers,
John
