Have I gotten complacent?

I’ve not made any changes to my system since 2015 and I mentioned to someone that I’m done, my system is great, and no point in changing anything. Oh sure, if something needs repair, that’s a different story and my very old Linn Arkiv B cartridge can’t last forever. But when I said I was done, the person said I have become complacent (which may not be a bad thing). Does anyone think I’m seriously missing the boat? Take a look at my profile for my gear. Tell it to me straight- good, bad or ugly is all ok. 

Thanks and and let me get back to listening (The Nightfly at the moment; before that some Kenny Burrell)

@zavato  I'm with you I've had my amp and preamp both over 10 years now, my speakers and dac both over two years now. Other than replacing a few tubes here and there I am pretty much done. Oh and my dac is out getting a cap upgrade, though I've had it two years its 24 years old. I like the sound I'm getting and no real plans to change/upgrade anything, except  to add a turntable next year

If you know Kenny Burell, nothing more is needed.

Very nice system, by the way.

I'm done too,unless something breaks.When my CD player bit the dust a couple of months ago I was more annoyed than excited about auditioning new gear.I just want to kick back and enjoy now,maybe a tweak or two once in a while.We can enjoy our hobby and continue to learn and discuss without constantly swapping components in and out.

I would probably be just fine if not for this darn forum and eBay.......
