How competitive are you with your system?

There is always better if you seek it. At some point I had to say enough is enough. I’ve been on this journey since age 12 and now 71. I’m pretty much satisfied with what I have. I have 6 amps from Pass, Hegal, Accuphase, Macintosh, Electrocompaniet, and Krell. Then there are 12 pairs of pairs of speakers. I can get pretty much whatever sound I want. 

No ranking. No competition. It is a shared journey to reach the most satisfying sound quality for each of us. I don't play team sports. The sports I pursue are either solo... long distance bicycling, mounaineering, SCUBA diving, exploration... one team achieving together. 

If I learn about a characteristic that mine doesn’t have... then it goes into my knowledgebase. Something I might want to include in my own system. 

No rank  but I always use live music and what I consider to be good reference systems as, well, references.  You have to know what the target sounds like first to have a chance to hit it or even come close.  

However were I to rank, my rankings would of course be the correct ones. 🙏
