Yes, I'm satisfied and plan on keeping my components for a while. I'm tired of spending money and selling gear and frankly it sounds pretty darn good. My only wishes are an Electrocompaniet SACD player and a CD player for my headphone system that's great on both SACD and redbook (but my Marantz SA-14 is pretty good). My only concern is that my main system is tubed and we have kids on the way in the near future. I'm going to keep the tubed components, but if there are any problems I'll have to do something else. But to summarize, yes, I'm content, and I'm really enjoying some good music these days -- jazz, classical, and bluegrass/flatpicking. : )
Are You Satisfied?
Consider this a poll. How many of you are actually happy with their existing system and have no plans on upgrading? This thread seems to go "against the grain" of most of the threads regarding upgrading, future upgrades, plans to upgrade, another upgrade, etc.
Are there any of you out there who have actually stopped the upgrading and now just spend their time listening? Not that I feel that upgrading isn't a fun part of the hobby. But, I think it's more a question of, have you finally reached a point where you see no reason to upgrade.
I recently upgraded my complete 2 channel system. This is the first time I have upgraded since about 1985. It took about six months of reading, evaluating and ultimately listening, to approximately a dozen seperate pieces of equipment before making my final purchase.
I could not be any happier. Based on my past performance, I will probably own this equipment for another 15 or so years.
Are there others of you out there that are satisfied enough with you system that you see no reason to upgrade or am I to be considered the "black sheep" or not the "norm"?
