Number of yrs. to reach the finished line?


Ten long years and way to much $$$ lost running sometimes backwards and sideways.

No more for me. I am very happy with the end result and can live a very long time with what I have built.

The Lampizator / Tenor was what brought me to the end and took the longing out of me for better sound.

What say you?

Reaching the destination is where the fun starts. The journey is like hell at times with the loss of $$$ to go backwards/sideway.

disagree with the former, agree with the latter. I like the journey. It can be a $$ sucker, but it's a huge part of why I'm in this to begin with. Trying new gear and tweaking the system to obtain better than what i had before is enjoyable to me.
i agree tholt, the process, or journey, while challenging, can be enjoyable, becuase of the experimentation involved.
How do you know when you've reached the finish line? Before I discovered the "high end", I thought my "midfi" was hot stuff. It wasn't until I wandered into a "high end emporium" that I made a startling discovery. Now that those places are almost gone, where can you compare what you think is the finish line.
I think it's simply a personal decision. It could be based on things such as you don't want to spend any more money, or the journey has tired you and you don't want to deal with upgrading, or that you feel content enough with what you have, etc.
In my case my room brings me to the end. Limited by the room keeps my speaker put close to the front wall where the Zu speaker still excell.

You guys that like to Dick around with you system what would you upgrade in mine? Speakers have to have bottom end and very close to the front wall.
