When's enough, enough?


Just wondering why when we achieve a sound we like, do we keep looking for more? It seems like there are alot up things we do that makes an improvement to the sound we have, when do you stop? I'm assuming there is only so much detail, so much depth and width in the soundstage that you can get, yet we can still find a power cord or i.c. that changes the sound in positive way.

It is not natural to be disatified with your system. That disatifaction is a learned behavior encouraged by magazines and other forms of marketing.
Ha, now we all know what Elizabeth is running!

Elizabeth has provided this info many times. Hell, I even know what car she drives.
As to your question, when the quest begins to bore you. That's what made me get off the merry go round.
It's fairly easy, and not too expensive to obtain gear that will reproduce music in a very satisfactory manner. An audiophile is a person into 'sound' reproduction, that CAN / MAY, be music. I often wonder how someone can hear a Power cable or IC or speaker wire while the berliners are in the middle of Beethoven's Ninth. Or James Brown is feeling good. But audiophiles apparently can do so. And since the combinations of gear and wire approaches the number of stars in the milky way, you will NEVER stop looking, unless you do something drastic, like, listen to some music.
Cheers.

When reproduced music is indistinguishable from live or I run out of money. I’ll run out of money first but that doesn't mean I don’t enjoy and appreciate what I have.
