Are your current amps and other gear the best you've ever had?

@dweller good points.  Still trying to wring the best out of my current gear, but doubting I could have done so with old gear in my past systems.

When I was beginning building my system, I believe I had/auditioned a few amps that I probably couldn't appreciate because my system wasn't good enough. At the time, my speakers were a bad choice the room, I had lousy power, was using random cabling.  My listening skills were also pretty meager relative to today.  

In fact, just picked up an Octave v110 to see if my original v40se audition was accurate and to gave it another try.  I'm fairly confident my current speakers and power setup will allow for a more definitive assessment now.  Maybe some powerful push/pull tubes will impart a nice flavor for me?

This thread altogether so far conveys a general sense of satisfaction that is great to read. I'm sure not everyone feels this way, and maybe those guys didn't want to post here, but it is a good time to be an audiophile (with disposable income, at least). 

@phd I'm gonna hold you to that, young man...
