How good is good enough?


Most of us here cannot afford six figure prices for each component (assuming that will bring the best sound.) So how far do we want to go to improve our systems? There are always bigger fish. When does it stop? It stops when we say it stops, when our gear brings us satisfaction. To constantly strive for better sound is an endless quest, not necessarily based on the quality of our set but on our personality.

Pretty happy listening to Cal Tajder and Eddie Palmieri through 2a3 SET amps at the moment.

I am an audiophile. I want the very best sound I can afford and am happy to allocate a disproportionate amount of my disposable income to achieve this.
 

Typically I do an upgrade cycle every seven years and just really enjoy the music in between upgrade cycles. During the hiatus I stay up on Stereophile, The Absolute Sound, and HiFi+ as well as casually work on small positioning and tweaks to improve the sound. I also help friends put together systems and occasionally go to high end audio shows.

Spend as much as you can truly extend ,especially the most critical 2 pieces 

the front end like Dac quality ,streamer LPS power supplies 

and Good quality Loudspeakers.
