HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO?

And changing the goal post by upgrades is not so easy as purchasing new electronic design as plug and play as many thought here ...

I think it’s a safe bet that most of us here understand that changing components often results in having to rebalance the system.

Purchasing is not understanding ...

No, but buying the wrong gear can lead to understanding. At least, this has been true in my case! "Learning the hard way" is not optimal but it is (if we are paying attention) effective!
