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!

Once you know that there are things out there that are probably "better" than what you currently have, you want to try them.

Lots of "audiophiles" are not into doing research on their own and are at the mercy of their dealers. They don't even know about crazy new or old stuff out there, and they love their system as is. 

Reading these forums and getting creative is why I like my system better than their's, but ignorance is bliss.  Now that I know I'll eventually need a bespoke set of power cords, I'll be scheming until I can afford them. 

Lots of wisdom in this thread.
