Done, really 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 :-)

zavato,

I hate to be a downer but we have all said the same thing... but, eventually a product will come along that gets us curious and bingo another upgrade!

Perhaps it will be just a software change.

For for me (I owned the Pass X350.8) it was going to tubes in the Amplifier. I changed from the Pass to Atmasphere M-60's and what a shear difference in sound quality. So much more pleasurable sound.
Of course then I needed to source some high efficiency 8 ohm speakers and a way I go...
