My Music Sounds Better Than I Ever Expected - How long will it last?


I listened to album after album this weekend.  Both/All sides of every LP I placed on the turntable. I closed my eyes and had goosebumps - at least until I would hear a "POP" that would damage my cool for an instant.  My listening levels are not conducive to conversational environments but I no longer wake the neighbors.  

We chase the magic for decades.  It was triggered when I was young and would regularly visit The Grove in Houston and listen to the B&W Matrix 801 3 or the flagship Dynaudio speakers of the time.  I have not been to a high end salon in decades, so I do not know how much better it is today if at all.

How long will my happiness last?  The analog chain of my system is very much aligned with that time and place.  Much of the gear purchased in recent years now that I can afford the things that I heard back then.

System:

Aragon 4004 mkII

Aragon 28k preamp

Apogee Stage speakers

Rythmic Sub

Linn LP12 w/Ittok LVII

Linn Linto phono stage

Ortofon MC X40

Eversolo, Topping DAC, SMLC CD Transport, etc.....
