How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems?

No manufacturer will ever say, "I sell you something that you do not need." He will always say, "I sell you a thing without which you can not get along." This transformation of the superfluous into necessary creates the so-called consumer.

Elizabeth’s comment is profoundly true. Question answered. Well said

At present, I'm also in a happy place with my system, but the old saying "curiosity killed the cat" comes to mind. I would think most of us are curious types who honestly enjoy the gear. (We certainly enjoy chatting about it endlessly.) Please, someone explain exactly where the curiosity on/off switch is located inside my head. Please.

I’m always on the lookout 👀 for the next fix, on the prowl. 🦍 Am I the only one who gets easily bored with the sound? If I can’t double the performance I’m having a bad week.

I am, well, I thought I was. Here is the story:

Since writing about the above system 2 years ago I now find myself thinking about upgrading the McIntosh C50 to a C52. I must be an audiophile! All the same, I still think this system is incredible as is.
