end game audio system -- how do you know you are there?

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:

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.
 
In 1964, Justice Potter Stewart tried to explain "hard-core" pornography, or what is obscene, by saying, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced... ut I know it when I see it ..."
That’s the answer to the original post.

This is a great thread with some interesting and good points!

Speaking for myself I have no plans for changes or upgrades as I am very pleased with the sound and use of the systems.

Following various people on various fora I have noticed some that make a high number of horizontal moves, changing this and tweaking that, without ever being fully satisfied. An endless merry-go-round and a lot of money sunk into it. So I promised myself that I would not change unless it was a significant improvement - and that means spending funds I dont have, this side of a lottery winner! My former system lasted 19 years...

In any case, listening to music is still the most important part, a point also made by others here. Enjoy.

Totally agree with you here. It’s easy to fall into that constant upgrade cycle and never actually enjoy what we already have, but if the system sounds great and keeps you happy, that’s what really matters. Sometimes sticking with a setup you genuinely enjoy is far more satisfying than endlessly chasing the “next best thing.” Just sitting back and enjoying the music is the real win.
 
I find it hard to justify new expenditures. What I have is pretty good. I know I don't want to give up the hobby so I keep my nose to the grind stone as best I can.
