Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma?

Some people treat a journey as something negative.

Others see it as the thing worth valuing.

The idea that my system is not where it could be is not a negative -- it's a positive. As Browning said, "a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?"

“I think it’s more about not knowing what you’re looking for”

A good system building process takes time and patience.  

If you don't know what you're looking for, then you won't realize that you've found it even if you do find it.  A quandary.

Not everybody is on an epic journey.  I suspect many just want to get something that sounds good so they can listening to music.  Every now an then they'll start a post along the lines of "have there been any improvements since 1992?"

Like Hilde I love the journey.
