When's enough, enough?


Just wondering why when we achieve a sound we like, do we keep looking for more? It seems like there are alot up things we do that makes an improvement to the sound we have, when do you stop? I'm assuming there is only so much detail, so much depth and width in the soundstage that you can get, yet we can still find a power cord or i.c. that changes the sound in positive way.

It is natural to never be satisfied with the sound we achieve with our systems. Inherently we know that it does not match the "live/real" sound we tend to aspire to. Since it is impossible to achieve the sound of a "live/real" performance I submit that many of us will continually attempt to make changes large and small to our systems until we lose interest or the money runs out.

Remember though that after all is said and done it is a hobby and the appreciation of music should be foremost in your upgrade path. Each individual will have their own limit as to when enough is enough. Enjoy the ride!
