Am I wrong to feel satisfied???

After 30 years in this hobby, and almost constant experimenting, I am now totally and unconditionally happy with the sound that I've acheived. This is an uncomfortable feeling, I don't really know where to go from here. I'm so used to twaeking this and upgrading that, that to just be happy and listening to music is a strange and unfamiliar disposition. No longer do I have the feeling that my analog front end needs upgrading, or my digital front end, or preamp, amp, speakers, etc......

Where do I go from here? Just step off the merry-go-round and leave the hobby? Hand in my Audiophile Anonymous card? It's a strange feeling, that I cannot recall experiencing before...............Maybe that new Shunyata V-Ray is worth the hype. :-)

Psyche! It can't really get any better...........can it???
I'm sure I could get different, as I have before, but I don't think I could do better, at least according to my tastes. Now, the trick is can I just leave it the f&*# alone??

What to do....or what NOT to do....that is the question.....

Cheers,
John

Wish you had listed gear.Maybe you want a one name system like Meridian or Naim.Some companies like Sagura 47 you can get from soup to nuts.Some folks like a system that's a "piece".Beyond that divert yourself into another hobby or sponsor a child in 3rd world.If your serious (ad sound slke you are) you have put together a balanced system that appealed to you.I have gone log streches not listening (all the while still collecting LP's/CD's) and enthusiasm comes back
Good luck
