Simple. When you enjoy listening to music instead of your gear.

agreed 100% 'Gordo' , the internet / forums have sensationalized and 'sexed' up the gear to where some forget about the music !

You’ve reached your end game system when you go to the audio forums and all you look at are the new music threads.

I reached that stage but now I am wondering what am I missing from my favorite Jazz listening sessions without a $64,000.00 MIT Articulation Control Console... It's not easy being an audiophile! :lol:

Think about what else you could do with $64K.

...if you were me, what would you aspire to do to get to a higher level of hifi performance along the same path i've been on? show me what i should be thinking about. and not being a smart ass, just curious where i still need to go.

At this moment I couldn't tell you what my next move is, never mind recommending upgrades to other people. I know from considerable experience that In time you will most likely find source components that reveal sonic aspects to your favorite recordings that henceforth weren't readily known with your existing gear, that's one.

That’s the answer to the original post.
