am I missing something?


I regularly read comments on this blog talking about very expensive and extraordinary sound systems. 
I have an integrated Quad 77 connected to a Quad 77 CD player and Mission 753 speakers. I recently added a Wiim ultra.
The sound of this set seems excellent to me. 
Would it be better to change something, sell everything and start again with a newer system?

@marcfrenette - it’s great you find satisfaction in your system, but your question of “better” is a subjective one that can only be answered by you by demoing other gear.  However, you may develop discontentment leading to further purchases.

Check out audio shows like AXPONA and brink n mortar audio stores.

Yes, you could do better of course. I am a piano fan as well, love Keith Jarrett, and I also use the reproduction of piano as a significant means of rating changes in my system. @kennyc has the right recommendation, go hear some of your favorite artists on some different systems, then I think you will have your answer.

 

I wouldn't change a thing unless I heard other systems that brought more to my life.

Your listening lifestyle contributes a great deal to what is right for you, and you may have it.  The kind of music you like to listen to, what volume, when, how  you listen (in 1 chair or while cooking...) all these matter. 

Not everyone needs or can appreciate a temple to the stereo gods.
