Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)

Are there other people so much amazed by a relatively low cost system , they consider that is not a stopgap but instead a minimally satisfying ectasy... Each day i am amazed by my speakers and headphone... Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ? Be assured that i know better system with higher acoustic experience and more refined exist ...

My point is an experienced and felt minimal threshold of acoustic qualities and well done and well realized and well manifested acoustic factors exist for me and are at play, for the price invested; so much so , i consider any upgrade way less tempting and if possible would be more, way more , costlier to appear as a real upgrade in quality... For sure an upgrade of part at low cost unbeknowst to me is possible but i must live with what i have for now but i feel no frustration at all. 😊

Am i the only one deluded in this way or enlightened in this way ? Pick your choice of word.... 😎

I'm constantly delighted with the sound of my system, and quite proud of it's low cost compared to .......

I have nearly all restored vintage, as my virtual systems show:

Other types of Investments do come into play:

Lucky with inheritances and gifts; asking and applying advice from members here or elsewhere; researching; 45 years experience; mr. fix it tools and skills; loving a 'great deal', i.e. working to recognize, find, pounce on a great deal for me or a friend; just dumb luck.

I believe you ought to like something each time you look at it, whether in use or just there.

I'm most proud of my Turntable with 3 Tonearms. Not only do I love using/hearing it, I marvel at the fact that I put it together for a total of $5,500.

 

 

JVC TT81 Quartz Direct Drive Spinner; JVC seven layer Plinth (with dust cover!); 12.5" tonearm (new, from Russia); Acos Lustre GST-801 Tonearm; Mission 774LC; Fidelity Research FRT-4 SUT; 3 Cartridges: MC,MM, Mono; Two New Phono Cables.

Restored/Maintained Vintage Equipment in my office and garage/shop systems are also a source of joy and great memories of each piece acquired.
