Done, really done!

Zavato, glad you got things to that point. You are right, it's a great place to be! And while the journey is definitely important in its own way, I have to say that final destination counts for a helluva lot! ;)

Usually to get there is more a matter of sheer persistence than anything else I think, but it IS doable as you know, and I'd say it's worth the reminder when things can conspire to make us doubt the outcome or lose our way.

Happy listening!

Ivan- the journey was fun, but the destination is great!!

Ozzy- I've been down the tubed journey- First CJ Premier and then Rogue. Very happy I've landed in the land of Pass. 

I know skeptics will say famous last words, but two years is pretty good!!

Happy listening all- 

zavato,

I too think that Pass has taken me to the end of this Journey and brought me home.

A vacation, road trip, after any journey; we’are always happy to be Home.

Best to All on their Journey 

Personally,  I'll never say I'm done again. I've had several components for almost two years, but if I came into a lot of money I know I would upgrade my preamp and speakers. 

Zavato ,
You find your current audio system "incredibly satisfying " that’s commendable and I hope this feeling continues for years to come. I believe that this state is more achievable if the priority is on the music as opposed to chasing "sound" in an attempt at perfection (which doesn’t exist).

If the quest is for so called absolute best sound then the search never ends and there’s the potential for frustration and in some cases angst. I think it’s fair to say we indeed want terrific sound quality but in the context of "music" reproduction and engagement in our homes.

I’ve had the same system for 8 years and I am as happy and satisfied with it today (maybe more so) than when new. Utterly and thoroughly musically and emotionally connecting without fail. What is very gratifying is that it is a personal endeavor for each of us as we construct a system based on individual and unique preference.
