When is your Hifi good enough?


Just wondering what makes people tick in regards to determining when things sound "good enough"?

For me I have a vision in my mind of how things should sound based on what I have heard over the years.  Once it sounds that way, I am done.   I can still enjoy listening to other sounds or sounds that omit some things I might want otherwise but if I do not get regular samplings of "that sound" I probably start to wonder.

When I consistently hear new details and nuances in material I know well.  Still at that stage with my current rig, so consider myself "there" at this point in time.

For contrast, I recently did some auditions with TOTL Magicos and Wilsons driven by much more costly McIntosh and ARC/D'Agostino respectively.  Better than what I have?  Noticeably.  Useable in my current environment?  Hardly.

I'm satisfied & can concentrate on the music!
