After reading the responses so far, I think I'm in a different category in that I'm really just getting started in building my "dream" system. It's comforting to hear that people actually get to a point of contentment, for myself I constantly wrestle with the "what ifs". But it is enjoyable to try and improve what you have and even better is that moment when you acheive the desired effect. I'll wager that most members of this site have many hobbies that consume equal time and resources, I believe it is a character or personality trait. Many friends don't understand the cost required in this particular hobby, but you can't take it with you right? In the mean time I will happily thumb through the magazines and sites dreaming of my next...
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"?
