The sooner you can get off the "upgrade" merry go round, the better off you are. At the end of the day, your system should only be a tool to listen to music. Too much of the time, we become so obsessed with equipment instead of enjoying what its purpose is.
Does it ever end?
I have recently been on yet another search for more magic for my system. ( current components; Leben CS 600, Electrocompanient ECM MK II Dac Steamer, Feikert Volare TT with Soundsmith Zephyr, Leben phono stage and countless NOS tubes). As I sit here and listen, and incidentally burn dinner, it sounds lovely. Yet the itch is always there to try another tube , cable , a new network switch, a LAN filter etc. I recently calculated that I have more tube years than years to live. ( I won't share the numbers as they embarrass even me ). And, I wonder, when will the itch stop; as again it sounds quite nice as it exists currently. Oh well, back to burning dinner.
