Number of yrs. to reach the finished line?

Audioquest -- good points. Experimentation and trying are integral parts of the hobby.

I understand the fun in experimentation, I've done it for 40+ years.

The finish line, since there really isn't one for most of us, is the self made line in the sand that an individual may choose to draw. After all of this time, I've drawn my line because of my age and my time and money are needed for other things.

We all know that I can still erase and redraw my line anytime and as many times as I want. But in my case, the conscious effort to hold to my finish line is to upgrade my equipment knowing that I'm plowing money into the upgrades that I'll never recoupe.

Little tweaks aside because they're relatively inexpensive in the whole system's cost, it makes me think really hard before making another component change.

After 40 years now you tell me there is a finish line?!?!?!?!?
I must have missed it. Do you have directions?

Mike,

Yes I do! I quit relying on myself, admitted that I didn't know it all and listened to Roger ( Irish65 ) and Peter Israelson.

Flying alone I had a really nice system. Riding along with the knowledge and experience of Peter and Roger has taken me to a truly amazing system.

Give Roger a shout, you will not regret it if you want to expand the essence of your system and perhaps get off the upgrade path. The journey was fun, but the feeling that I'm finished and how much I'm enjoying my system is much more rewarding.

" finish line " , makes it sound like a race . Somethings should not be rushed .
I don't think any of us want to pore money into a good system to get little or no gain , but when you get just the right new piece there's a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction not to mention a big smile , almost like the feeling you get after hearing a really great live performance . After all these years I still have trouble containing myself when a new member of the family arrives . I'm careful in my selections so disappointments are few .
