Ultimate Question


I was wondering how you all felt about your systems and how much better is attainable?..... What I am really getting at...have most of you wrung out every last piece of potential out of your system or do you believe that more can be attained? Is there better to be bought but finances will not allow or is it a constant wait/search as new products become available and trying them? I'd be real interested to hear from those who have spent a long time building a system since this seems to me be the ultimate question.....how much can a system actually reproduce?...I know we have differring tastes on how this is done and that ultimately it is everchanging but what are the opinions on the best available..oh and be civil to each other..please..

I think everyone has a different approach to system building. My wife has been extremely tolerant with me over the last 10 years as I have changed out equipment every 2 - 4 years, and have used various rooms in the house for music listening (two years ago I had an addition built dedicated to music and HT). Yes, the equipment was better each time and enhanced my listening pleasure. In retrospect I should have been more patient and taken bigger steps when upgading. About 2 years ago I started to reach a point where it was less assured that spending what money I had budgeted would result in appreciable improvements. I already had attained very good sound, and would have to start spending crazy money to make worthwhile improvements. Last year I bought a second hand pair of speakers that I would never have been able to afford new. These have become the cornerstone around which I will continue to build and improve my system, although at a much slower pace, and with each change more carefully considered as a long term commitment. In the meantime I'll enjoy what I have.
