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

lot of really interesting and insightful perspectives here.

i don't mean to say that i can't improve upon the SQ of my comparatively very modest system. rather, i just don't think there will be greater toe-tapping, head-bobbing and overall enjoyment from the listening experience with any further material system upgrades.

on the other hand, there are other parts of this hobby that i find quite enjoyable: the tinkering, research, learning, experimenting, etc with new or different types of gear and technologies. there is still plenty of fun to be had in this area. it is always the journey rather than the destination -- right?

just curious about the thinking of others on the topic ...that and maybe just looking to give myself permission to indulge further.

Totally get that—sometimes the system is already good enough for pure enjoyment, and chasing upgrades won’t really change the musical connection.


But the tinkering, experimenting, and learning side of the hobby is a big part of the fun too, so there’s nothing wrong with indulging that curiosity.
 
I completely agree that constantly upgrading equipment can become an expensive cycle with little real satisfaction. Keeping a system for 19 years shows patience and confidence in what truly matters: enjoying the music. That mindset is refreshing. By the way, getting Minecraft free was a nice bonus. I recently explored crystal launcher android and it reminded me that simple, enjoyable experiences often matter more than endless upgrades.

SPAM.
 
Can't see me ever stopping. I enjoy the chase. I'm in a good place now, quite enjoyable but I know what sound I want to make it better.

Can't do separates anymore. Been there, done that. Joseph Audio, Luxman, Pass Labs, Conrad Johnson, Shunyata, etc. Lost all my stuff in the Ruidoso, NM Sandy Fork fire two years ago. Was selling it all so that took care of that. Have moved to a much nicer house so it all worked out quite well in the end. Thank you Allstate. Bought a top Sony A9 TV, a Sennheiser Ambeo Pro Plus soundbar with a SVS micro sub. Excellent sound. Highly recommend this speaker combo. Had been using KEF LSX LT speakers for background listening. Decided to try Qobuz using the soundbar. Raise my rent! Extremely surprised and content. Can listen at high volumes. Quite clean, transparent and emotionally involving. Done. Thanks for reading. Best

Just because you’ve been to the mountain’s summit doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the view on the descent.
 
Live on a summit now of sorts. One of the highest points in Ruidoso. Spectacular, five star views. If this house burns down, gonna buy a nice condo in Colorado and call it good. Best.
