Are You Satisfied?


Consider this a poll. How many of you are actually happy with their existing system and have no plans on upgrading? This thread seems to go "against the grain" of most of the threads regarding upgrading, future upgrades, plans to upgrade, another upgrade, etc.

Are there any of you out there who have actually stopped the upgrading and now just spend their time listening? Not that I feel that upgrading isn't a fun part of the hobby. But, I think it's more a question of, have you finally reached a point where you see no reason to upgrade.

I recently upgraded my complete 2 channel system. This is the first time I have upgraded since about 1985. It took about six months of reading, evaluating and ultimately listening, to approximately a dozen seperate pieces of equipment before making my final purchase.

I could not be any happier. Based on my past performance, I will probably own this equipment for another 15 or so years.

Are there others of you out there that are satisfied enough with you system that you see no reason to upgrade or am I to be considered the "black sheep" or not the "norm"?

Buscis; Yes I am very satisfied. There's the "obsession thing" too-- at least in my case. I recently even down graded a bit (cost and size of amp(s)and my system is sounding excellent, and I have no plans to fiddle with it.

I've been getting heavily invilved w/ digital photography (my latest and maybe finest obsession), and after a long day of dealing w/ computers, printers, difficult software, and other complex technology, just kicking back and listening to some fine tunes is really enjoyable I'm finding. And in some ways, I'm finding music even more enjoyable. Cheers. Craig
