am i done ?

My system consists of ,Ayre amp and preamp with a pair of sonus cremona speakers, all cabled with analysis plus big silver oval speaker and interconnects. my system was a little dark and this combo put me in a good place.
But recently i upgraded to the ayre c5xemp cd player and found it a bit bright, so i switched to a set of cardas golden reference interconnects.not only did they take the edge off, but i was shocked that they also made my player sound so much better.
im very happy with the way things are sounding now, but cant help but wonder if i am missing something, and should continue to switch. its mostly a cost issue. those cardas cables are not cheap.

If you like the way your system sounds then why not sit still for awhile and enjoy what you have. The constant turning will drive you nuts and possibly away from the hobby.

But to answer your question I am not sure one is ever done.

Of Tom6897's long list, I'd suggest room treatment and power conditioning in particular.
