@mid-fi-crisis - Some people are never happy. Just not in their nature. Always looking for something better. However, there are lots of folks on this forum who rarely upgrade (including me). I don't spend much time replying to "what's my next upgrade" threads. However, I do regularly participate in a few of the very long running and popular music threads here on AudiogoN. I mean, it's all about the music... Right?
Nothing wrong with upgrading if it brings you joy. However, for me, it just a distraction from my true love of just listening to music. I got off the constant upgrade/change train and I've been happier for it. That said, I did just buy a new turntable. But it was relatively inexpensive, and significantly different from my other turntable... And I've been listening to more records...
