It's all about perspective, isn't it?
Like if you're starving a biscuit can feel like a feast, if you're lonely a mouse can be your best friend, or if you're sick you might give anything to be well again etc.
When it comes to pursuing excellent sound it's all too easy to fall into the Captain Ahab syndrome and become obsessed with searching for something that might not exist. Many voices encouraging you along the way, and hardly any (except partners and spouses maybe) warning you of the pitfalls..
Satisfaction follows pleasure, so be sure you have an idea of what makes you happy. And what the true costs of attaining it might be.
I have what might be considered a decent main system, but it has never come close to giving the same pleasure I gained whilst listening to a cassette compilation on a Sony radio cassette player whilst sat on a flat roof balcony enjoying a panoramic view on holiday way back in 1995.
