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

I hope this isn't too off topic, but I'm curious as to how long it has taken to build your dream setup? I'm on the ever long hunt for MORE and BETTER and I think I need some other users perspective as my neurotic brain is on the hunt monthly for upgrades.

Keep it simple and improve what you have. Don't chop and change for the sake of "upgrading." Save for longer and make substantial upgrades less frequently. Buy used if possible. Consider classic vintage equipment.

About 9 years of buying from the used audio sites, ordering from manufacturers, buying from friends, and straight swaps with others.  It was also a lifetime of learning and listening to get to know the sound and what was most important in various areas such as detail and dynamics, for example.  I'm still adding non-component things that make a significant difference in the illusion of live music.

Yes, since then it has been downhill.

For real, I was excited and I was feverishly dreaming of that radio-cassette recorder. After that, nothing was a dream, it was just wishes. And OP was about a dream.
