HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment

When I was a kid I listened to small hand held radio.it was all I had and enjoyed the static.grew up became productive in society and could buy better stuff.now I calm the savage beast with music.it is my only drug. It takes me to happier times.i enjoy learing off this forum with great conversations.as with all data you have to decide what fits your enjoyment.so enjoy the music stay healthy and congrats on your post.

1. I started building my system 5 yrs ago.  Everything I added or changed made an improvement in sound. I didn't know what I didn't know.

Finally, it hit me.  Music was just right.  I could listen for hours.  It was relaxing yet powerful.  .

Sounds like you got it figured out.  I also don't know why people feel the need to play Muppet judge and say sparky things.  Ignore that.  Welcome aboard.

For those of us who haven't haunted these forums for years/decades, sometimes posting a question or observation that's been trod upon before we arrived results in olde tymers grumbling about "this has been talked about" before, belittle what has been posted, and then grumbling further why the "hobby" of hi-fi enthusiasts is dying off. Only recently, in the last 5 years, have I been at a point in life where I can upgrade my system to have a better quality mid-fi system. I don't have the luxury of $, space, or time to search for the next best higher-end components to get me to some magical point where I think/feel the music sounds so amazing but only willing to listen to "audiophile" tracks because the system reveals too much.

I'm all about enjoying my music and not obsessing about gear. So it's great that you've reached that point where you're happy with your path. I'm on an upgrade path for my speakers and a better integrated amp. After that, I won't have any real reason to continue upgrading other than when/if something breaks. I want to enjoy all my records/CDs/digital albums regardless of their master quality. 

Much like cycling, there are those (usually guys) who get seriously into the sport and spend loads of cash on high-end carbon bikes, components, etc, etc and yet don't ride any faster than they would have on a high-quality steel-framed bike. I know this because I've ridden with them. I have nice bikes but they're not exotic. I love to ride them, work on them, and upgrade bits and pieces as needed. Their purpose, to me, is to ride and enjoy getting outside for me time. It's not to obsess about the bike itself where I'm riding and thinking about "what if" upgrade options the entire time. 

all it takes to get a lot of love an sympathy is a few incredibly funny and intelligent comments at the expense of the OP. Got it :)

OP I have 3 systems , my main system  is the one I play when I prefer listening to piano, and classical I call it Andra room, Then for classical and Acoustic I prefer the KLH model 9 speakers on my second system,, On jazz I like the X1 Borensen speakers . On my third system Iam using Omega rs8, Tekton impact monitor, Diapason adamantes, and technic sb speakers. I equally enjoy all of them. Each system have different capabilities in term of musicality and liveness performance.Honestly I learned on each one of my systems.
