When's enough, enough?

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

I suppose I just need to learn to enjoy the journey, rather than just focusing on the destination, and not being content until I get there.

Where human, that explains it all. Years ago I decided it was all about the music, not the gear. Never enough music. I spend about $5,000 a year on music, some of it going to classical concerts in New York City. The concerts provide a reality check on what gear can never create. Well worth it.

"Just wondering why when we achieve a sound we like, do we keep looking for more?"

Because there is more.

Your question is the equivalent of asking, "Why climb higher mountains?" You don't have to, but you won't get the mountain top experience either. :)

One of the greatest delusions in audiophilia is that the system is right there, right at the best sound possible; the equivalant of standing on Mt. Rushmore and thinking you have conquered K2.

Enough when it comes to your system is when you say enough not someone else ......
