How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems?

I am satisfied, but it took a quarter century to get there and I have two systems to give me everything I want.  But it is possible!

I guess I'm one of the uninformed happy ones. I haven't purchased anything of substance in over 6 years, my speakers haven't been relocated, nor has my chair been relocated. I fiddle with minor stuff on rainy days but for the most part all of my audiophile energy has been redirected to the recorded music  aspect of this hobby. My present systems sounds good enough for me as is, but I can always appreciate new music.

It is possible for some to be truley satisfied but probably out of reach of most of us....

Master Po: It is written in the 'Tao Te Ching', "Under heaven, all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness. All can know good as good only because there is evil. Therefore, having and not having arise together. Difficult and easy complement each other. High and low rest upon each other. Front and back follow one another."

Caine: But Master, do we not want all men to know our peace, our joy?

Master Po: Would you make the whole world a temple? Be like the sun, and what is within you will warm the earth.

Well I was satisfied, then the air conditioner came on for the first time this season. Such struggles (LOL)  

Problem is, if we hit the pleasure button of new gear and more pleasure comes out..the monkey tendency is to hit that button again. Harder. With a stick. Or dynamite. To die like little cocaine mouse, sittin' on the switch -with the new wire in his head.
