Is it ever enough?


It strikes me that continuing to tinker can be either positive or a negative for a given individual. When I make changes intending them as a remedy for something deficient, I don’t always know if that emerges from an inability to be satisfied and happy with what I have, or as a legitimate process of improvement.
For me, the question of when is my system excellent enough to simply sit back and listen to it for the rest of my life is difficult to ascertain.
Obviously, a lot of people don’t care about this and simply enjoy trying to perfect their sound, independent of any such concerns. And, of course, there’s nothing wrong with that, or it’s opposite, which I would call being satisfied on a budget, or perhaps having the benefit of less discerning ears in terms of budgetary effect.
Anyway, I’m curious, if anyone else is interested in this topic, to hear what they think. If the topic doesn’t interest you, you’re probably better off responding to someone else’s post.

It's a journey not a destination

Perfection and excellence are a pursuit and rarely achieved

All excellent systems have a weakest link, it may be a darn good weakest link but it's still the current shortcoming in the overall landscape

Personally speaking, never being done is part of the appeal for me

Not to mention, tis the nature of technology, better and new things are being brought to market faster and with greater frequency than ever

It's incumbent upon us to evolve at a reasonable rate or get left behind

Just don't let the next step impose on getting maximum enjoyment and pleasure with your current set up

Enjoy the journey
