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!

50 years on and a great sounding system (acc to others) and my answer is NO.

That particular joy of having arrived never lasts more than a few days/weeks.  My own personal record, from memory, is around 2 weeks.

some friends have average to lousy systems but man do they enjoy the music.  These are the blessed - they get it even if it's being filtered by an old sock. 

Thank goodness I'm not blessed!! Chasing excellence is the very essence of the human spirit.
