How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems?

For now, I am happy with my system. I merely have a Yamaha N803 receiver, Yamaha CD player, my old Sansui SR525 turntable, Vandersteen speakers and I stream Spotify.  I would like to upgrade and have been tempted at the stereo shops but my knowledge is very limited so I've resisted the buying, selling, trading, upgrading, tweaking war which I know would be a never ending expense. I am starting to weaken though and I've heard a few systems that really blew me away.  Maybe I'll do what I often do for now.....procrastinate.

I am totally almost satisfied with my system...>>>   No I'm not !  , Yes , I am <<<    No, I am not !  Yes... I ...am  <<<< ... and so it goes ...  Accckkk !  

What I was trying to say is something analogous to a person who buys a new Mustang and often gets bored pretty soon and starts looking for ways to make it run faster. So, he buys some new high performance wheels and new tires. Which satisfies him for a while. But before long he’s bored again and starts looking around for something else to improve performance. What’ll it be? New exhaust system? High performance cams? Maybe cryogenically treat some engine parts? Where does it all end? 😛

A climber says to his buddy, Wow! What a view! So this is what it looks like from the top of Everest! His buddy replies, dude, we’re only at Base Camp! 

Metaphors be with you!

Perhaps I am no more a complete integer audiophile after all!  Metaphors be with me...

I have not turned my system on in weeks but I like the way it looks.
