It's been a love affair since I was fine tuning the gear in my car back in high school.
Recently, I decided it was time to go all in and upgrade my system of the last 20+ years (Dynaudio Confidence 3, Simaudio W5 and P3, Equi-Tek Power Supply) The new system less than 2 hours burn in Paradigm Persona 7F, Pass Labs XA60.8 Mono's, Prima Luna EVO 400 Pre, Lumin D2, Qobuz. I repurpsed the Power Supply and Nordost interconnects and speaker cable from the old system. I will let the amps run continuous for the next five days, but to be honest, I'm already pleased.
It was a ton of research and discussion to get to the point where I felt I had the right components, listening to each independently and reading spec sheets in infenitem. Listening and learning over the years (40+) has been a great deal of fun.
