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.

My hi-fi is good enough when .

- I return from a visit to my local hi-end stores, after listening to systems that can exceed of $300,000
-  drop some vinyl onto my TT and think - Hmmm - my system doesn't sound too shabby at all :-)

I seem to do that a lot :-)

Having said that - the last item to really peek my interest - a very nice pair of Avantgarde Duo's :-)

Alas - too big for my room - what a shame

Cheers

Obsession has no limits, so the answer is obvious whether it is audio or anything else.
It is all pornography, in a manner of speaking.
