HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?

Do any of us really have the end game dream system? At least for me, it's an endless upgrade. Every tweak leads to yet another tweak, or new part. Feel like our systems are just a moment in time, are always evolving. 

My system started very modestly, mostly at the time interested in the overall look to fit the room. After a couple months, sound became much more important, the deep dive started with searching for the next best piece, and so on and so on. 

My system today, will not be the same system next year. But very happy with my current system, but always looking for "more".

@calvinj I enjoy my system every day! Listing right now as I type this. 

Good sound is like a drug. You don't know what you are missing until you try it, then you get hooked and want more.  Every time something gets changed for the better, just want more, the goal is to get to the next level. When I started it was very easy to get to the next level (not much money). Now I'm at the point that big upgrades will cost big money. 

My journey now is better cart (going to try a MM), maybe a dedicated phono stage, steep slope crossover for my speakers, better cables, better streamer, dedicated AC line. Some isolation for the entire system. It will just never end, as there is always another step to go...
