Done, really done!

jaybe, I feel the same way- I feel that with my X250.8 and XP20 I lack for nothing in amplification

my Digital is based on a Bricasti M1, being driven by either a Simaudio Neo 260D or a MacBook Pro. Again, in digital, I lack for nothing.

in analog, I spin a Linn LP12,Ekos 2, Kore, Arkiv B, Lingo, and again, I feel I lack for nothing

in FM, it’s an MR78

All heard throu Revel Studio 2’s 

Are these the bleeding edge and absolute best in each category? No, but it doesn’t matter as everything I own is incredibly satisfying. That’s why I’m done.

I can totally understand and appreciate your decision. It's wonderful you are really satisfied with your equipment especially after 2 years. What matters most is when you can sit back and just enjoy the music. 

I'm also very happy with my system and listen quite often now that I'm retired. The equipment I now own is less expensive than I've previously owned but it's so much more musical and rewarding. I went from SS to tubes and from multi-way towers to a stand mounted 2 way. This past year I experimented with various tubes and cables but now I'm done. ENJOY

Nonrags, you are right. There are many paths that lead to total satisfaction with your music in your own environment. The sooner anyone gets to the destination, the sooner you can forget about the system and just enjoy th music. Unfortunately, some people can’t recognize or appreciate the destination. 

Happy Listening! zavato

I just read your profile and we both started out with the same type of systems around the same time. I purchased a Pioneer receiver, Dual turntable and Altec speakers right out of HS in 74 for $700 which was a lot of money for me back then. It bested my all in one Zenith system that was passed down from my older brother. I really enjoyed that system for many years as I do now. I guess my audiophile life has come full circle :-)
