When's enough, enough?

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.

It's FUN !

"When's enough, enough?"

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.

Off the shelf untreated CD and equipment is not music. There, I said it.
