How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup?

Way too long

Been at it since my first rat shack system at age 14 & just last year got my dream speakers(Harbeth M30.1) hahahaha..Now I’m stuck for my dream front end(amp/dac all in 1)...

I may have gone at it way too fast. I started with a set of Kef Q550s and a Marantz receiver around my 21st birthday. I've been thru 3 front end setups and 4 pairs of speakers before I finally found what I was looking for last month, Jeff Rowland front end with Avalon Eclipses. Started this hobby last August and now I think I'm finally happy (for now at least ;).

30-35 years.

Too long, to any changes, too many upgrades. 48 years and counting. Wait, who’s counting??!!
