Are you at this point??

As I perused the Ads, as I do on an daily basis (sometimes hourly), it occurred to me that absolutely nothing interests me or motivates me to upgrade...For the first time in my audio life, I feel I am DONE! I am so content with my current set up ..after 15 years of messing with it it should be.

The set up:

Speakers: Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations (in the big leaf maple)

Front End: Naim CDX2/XPSII

Pre: Pass Labs X1

Amps: NuForce Reference SEs

Cables: Crystal Cable References

Power Cables: Crystal Cable Reference and Cardas Golden Cross

Misc: Symposium Svelte Shelves and pucks.

If you are at the end of your upgrade path, chime in!

Nice feeling, isn't it!? Enjoy while it lasts. I feel the same, my main system has been static for 8 months now. After the Pipedreams everything just fell into place.

It's possible I may swap some cable in and out, however I'm completely satisfied with the sound I'm getting at this point, and for me...that's good.

Lots of equipment rolled in and out of here the last 15 years :-/

Best,

Paul :-)

I'm almost done again.....I think. :)

Nice speakers BTW, but how can you be done, and happy, with no vinyl or tubes?

You also might consider trying some Walker Audio Reference High Definition Links on those speakers. They work mighty fine on my Parsifal Encore's.
Just a thought. ;^)

Me too, yet on the other hand:
My amps, pre amp, speakers, front end, cables & p/s are set.
My biggest problem is vinyl - I'm a "vinyl junkie"!
This month alone - I bought 4 more cartridges, a A to D converter, another phono stage (which I dearly needed for my 7 turntables), yet another turntable & yet & yes I still want more.
Hopefully, tomorrow I'll get there or run out of space & money.
SHOOT ME!

At this point I feel that I have reached the audio goals that I had set up for myself. I need to post some updates and add some new pictures to my great room system so you can see what I'm talking about. (Upgraded to a 106-T fm tuner and Silversmith silver speaker cables).
I'm feeling very content.
Bert regards to all.
