Hell no. Way I see it, the prusuit of perfection in anything is a life-long endevour. Now anyone who fails to relish and enjoy each any every step along the way is missing the point, but, satisfied? I'll be satisfied only if, the day they put me in the ground, I never gave up striving for more from the things I care about -- and mayby not even then ;) (Ok, maybe a little more strident and absolutist than necessary, but I stand by the sentiment, however inartfully espressed). Let's try again, I guess I'll either remain curious, involved and eager to try new things or indifferent (aka, obsessed with something else). Though I'll derive satisfaction from either, I wouldn't call either "satisfaction."
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"?
