My system is where I want it be and it sounds awesome...


Finished.....Goldenear Reference, Carver tube amp, Prima Luna Pre....Yggy DAC, 2018 Mac mini serving roon and Oppo 203...With the addition of the GE Reference, I’m no longer using subs...Very pleased.  My wife is happy that the checking account will no longer be ravaged...Thanks for the help in selecting the components...

Yep I’m not getting up and down anymore tweaking knobs, moving the Reference mm to get the perfect place.  I don’t find myself any longer trying to hear what I can improve on.  Instead I’m enjoying the music without being obsessed of what I can do to make it sound better...Of course that was a lie, but I do find myself enjoying more and tweaking less.  I’ve got about 20 hours on the GE Reference now and they are really opening up...Love them.  But my wife’s gonna crap if she sees the price tag.
I am one of those crazy enthusiasts who keeps multiple systems and extra components in the house. I won’t tell you how many systems because I am afraid someone might impose an intervention! I have sold most of my gear and consolidated down to one or two excellent systems on numerous occasions. Each time I have said that I was “done”. Those reasons included finances, clutter, children, and an irate but very understanding wife … Most recently it has been health issues. Quitting never lasted for very long!
It is true that for many, upgrade-itis is a lifelong affliction, but it can be overcome.  It is, after all, (or should be) about the music, not the stuff that produces it. Once you hit a happy place, resist the recurring urge to get back on the treadmill!
What you are saying is,   i need to upgrade a few things.   But i need to ask the boss for money .  That's what you told the small world of part time audiophiles .  
 and a good day to you Sir

I have an Oppo 203 as backup and a 205 as my daily driver. IMO the 205 with the lower noise floor is superior at picking up fine details and reproducing a sense of space. YMMV
