Diminishing Returns

I’ve reached a point, after much tweaking in my system thanks to Audiogon, I’m moving away from the forum. I’ve gotten to a place where I’m so satisfied with my system that further improvements, while I’m sure they will work, I don’t care.  I used to read  with great interest the weekly listing of the most popular posts.  I’m now finding it boring.  I think It’s time to get off the Merry-Go-Round.
Aside from the “Music” posts” that will be it.

rvpiano,   There is more fun in chasing the bunny than in catching it, but I'm happy that you're happy.  I also came to a point, where I cannot improve my system anymore (some hearing loss), but I will stay and participate from time to time.

first, and foremost, this is a hobby, for your own pleasure, PERIOD.  The goal is simple,,,,secondly, the law of diminishing returns certainly applies, especially when measured as gain/cost.  Thirdly, I have no doubt, like in many situations, the PLACEBO EFFECT certainly applies.  SO, enjoy, and do what feels good to you!
Many of my components are OLDIES BUT GOODIES(though updated/serviced like you would do for a fine automobile), and, though I am sure for large expense I could improve my sound a little, it is quite wonderful as is, so I am happy to just get new LPs occasionally.....

It’s an old wives take that there’s a ceiling to performance, that you can approach the ceiling to within say, 3-5% with relative ease. Nothing could be further from the truth. That’s the audiophile’s dream - to get within 5% of what the Big Boys have. News Flash! The Big Boys are nowhere near the Absolute Sound. There is no Absolute Sound. Hel-loo!
