I’m pretty happy with my kit, so it’s all about the music. Now, for example, I can listen to Mozart, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and notice the difference’s between various recordings.
How much is about the recording
For myself, I'm comfortable in knowing I have arrived. At my own personal audio joy through years of empirical data and some engineering knowledge and application. I just wonder how many like minded individuals find as much joy in finding the best recordings vs the perceived next best gear. Peace.
