Change it or Defend it, where is your stereo at?

I'm sitting here listening to Chantal Chamberland.  A wonderful discovery brought to me by using the artist radio feature of Roon and starting with Carla Bruni.  I'm feeling so much enjoyment out of my stereo right now, without the need to even try to be critical. I wouldn't change a thing.  I want to keep it just the way it is forever. If someone came in and offered to make it "better" I'd probably go all John Wick on them. 

So I wonder fellow A'goners.  Where are you?  Are you ready to throw it all out for something?  Are you looking for the next upgrade, or have you gotten yourself to a point where it's so good you are afraid of changing a thing?

My system is not the best there is for a long shot if i look to the virtual system page here.. 😁

But once said i will not upgrade my gear because it was very well chosen basic good gear for my room and ears..

But the main reason why i will not upgrade is because for the last 2 years i was in an incremental process to not only treat my room with passive treatment but also with mechanical active control devices..

It is now so satisfying that i can repeat some truth discovered also by some few others...

Acoustic matter way much than the gear, never mind his price, if the gear was relatively good to begin with...

No upgrade can replace acoustic treatment and control, NONE...

Well, to be perfectly honest I have six more panels coming in from GIK acoustics in March and a rack from Butcher Block Acoustics in February... but as for anything that conducts electricity I'm pretty happy where I am.

Of course if Bricasti or Mytek wants to send me some DAC's for a long term review I'd be happy to consider them. 😁

I have two systems I’m pretty happy with. Is there room for improvement? There’s always room for improvement. The question is,how far are you willing to chase improvements?  Tomorrow is a new day.
