When is your Hifi good enough?

Just wondering what makes people tick in regards to determining when things sound "good enough"?

For me I have a vision in my mind of how things should sound based on what I have heard over the years.  Once it sounds that way, I am done.   I can still enjoy listening to other sounds or sounds that omit some things I might want otherwise but if I do not get regular samplings of "that sound" I probably start to wonder.

When I travel, after a while I start to miss listening to my system and after returning and do so, I realize how much I enjoy it, good enough!

When I have been to a dealership listening to a system far more expensive than my own and return to my system and think ‘this is special’, good enough!

When listening to the music has your attention more than your Favoruite beverage next to you and you forgot it was there. :)

...you'll know it when it hits you.

It's kind of like falling in love.  You realize that you have something very good...not perfect, but probably better than most and you're happy with it.
