Is your system amazing and you just dont see it?

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.  

Tannoy, tubes, and class A....me happy. Does it do everyhing right, no! Does it sometimes make me go wow!? Yup! 

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. 

+1 to Jumia and Chuck....it should be about making the owner happy....besides, there is no "absolute sound"

As akgwhiz mentions, I don't have anything to reference my system to so I can't tell how amazing it is. I do feel, however, that I may not be an audiophile since I have never been "gob-smacked" or amazed by the sound of a piece of equipment that other audiophiles seem to find amazing. The components of my system may be rated favorably but I am always left feeling that I'm missing something. On the other hand, maybe I'm actually ultra-discerning and will always hear deficiencies in the sound, no matter what the system is. Whatever the reason, I have come to accept that what I have is good enough.
