Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system?


After I finally found a great used Woodsong Garrard 301, I was inspired to upgrade my entire system.
After 49 years of building up, am I finally off the merry-go-round??
Or are the improvements never-ending??
Now coming a new Triplanar tonearm, SRA platform for the 301 and Stillpoints for the preamp.
What’s left? New cartridge? New TV? Think the clearly endless quest is buying LPs!
Hope I am satisfied. Got a lot of great deals on new and used stuff but adding it all up puts me up to over $100K!

I bought my first turntable this past June (well since I was 13, so 40 years since..

Anyway, I started with a Rega P6, then I quickly upgraded to the P8 and now I have the P10, with a very noticeable improvement each step up (I had the 6 and the 8 in my room, then the 8 and the 10 at the same time). I didn’t lose any money since it was from the same dealer and all within the very generous return period.

Now I just upgraded the cart in the P10 from the Apheta3 to the Aphelion2 and I was blown away by the very real and increased sense of immediacy of dynamics. So I think im done for now until Rega releases an upgrade to either table or cart ;)

Oh I did the same thing with the Audioquest Niagara PC. Bought the 1200, then the 3000, and now i have the 5000. Lol. Ive owned different PCs over the decades but the performance of this design is very special.
