Is your system amazing and you just dont see it?

Human nature is highly critical, never satisfied, wants continual change and variety.  So after working so hard and spending a fair sum, the system in place is actually quite good.  So why not enjoy the smell of the roses, which are perfectly satisfying, nature knows what we like.

sure i will likely do more but the quality of whats here is at a very high level. Took alot of work and so i can be satisfied, not easy.  
Its ok not to want things to be better all the time.  Go against the grain of human nature.

xcool...you are right with your last sentence 👍🏼.
The quest can go on and on if one doesn’t say „stop“ to oneself at a certain point. And the „problem“ is also that when you change one component it oftentimes pulls further new cables or other components behind. When the chain plays harmonically there is always a certain risk to change any link ... Enjoy the music that’s the main thing 😎

I've had the same power amp, pre-amp and speakers for decades. I've heard other equipment, some of it quite good, but not so good that I've been compelled to sell or trade up. Part of it has to do with age. When you enter your 70s as I have, new and/or "bigger and better" doesn't have the allure it once did. You appreciate more what you've got and discard the rest.

We want to 'upgrade' or improve nearly everything else in our lives---iPhones, cars, appliances, etc. So why not our audio systems? It's fun to try something new. If you're happy with your system, good for you. If you want to shop around, go for it. It's not a marriage.
