How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup?

Mike, 
You have the most beautiful listening room I've ever seen.

Bought first system with my lawn mowing money when I was 10 and have been upgrading toward the dream ever since. I am now 58 tomorrow making more money than ever and probably will never stop tweaking here and there. My main goal is to enjoy the music it take me away from the rest of the world and now it is needed more than ever.

@mikelavigne you win the upgrade game with buying a new house. Lol.

"It’s like the search of the Holy Grail....... never ends..!!"

Yes, it certainly feels like it.
It kind of gets in your blood and becomes an obsession. 

One day pleasure, the next day pain.
One day cosmic thrills, the next a slight disturbance in the force.

I think I've always felt that way.
That quickly became my addiction, and I can't shake it. 

Joyously got my first system when I moved out of my parents house and went to college in 1975. A Pacific Stereo $199 special-Quadraflex speakers, Niko receiver and a Lenco turntable. I would have never guessed that those exact $99 Lencos are now super rebuilds costing thousands.
Didn’t get on the upgrade carousel until years later. I have slowed down but just bought a terrific pair of Tetra 606 $33k speakers. The speakers owned by Herbie Hancock and many other top players. And have come full circle recently getting a vintage rebuilt Garrard 301 with Ortophon 309 arm and Myajima cartridge. Thinking of getting a Zesto phono stage. So, 45 years and counting! Think it never stops... just slows down-maybe.
