Has this ever happened to you?

Has it ever happened to you that you sit down to listen to your system one day and just go “Wow!”, THIS is the sound I have been looking for?  I have recently been hyper focused on incremental improvements that I have been making, and was really just listening to “the sound” of new components or cables but not actually listening to the music.  Recently, I sat down to listen to music, and I am hearing exactly what I had hoped it should like in my listening room.  I am feeling something new for me in this hobby for really the first time - contentment.

Curious the hear about your experiences.

For me it is more likely to happen when I listen to a particularly good recording. 

I think many audiophiles underestimate 1) the effects of their room acoustics and 2) the quality of a recording in how realistic their system can sound.

I have a Harmonia Mundi (classical music) CD that sounds more realistic than many SACDs and other high-res files I've listened to.  Currently, that is my most-realistic reference recording.
