Is it possible to really know what you're doing?

Somehow I managed to select components that are getting along and feel comfortable with how things are sounding after many upgrades.  I rely on others to advise along the way. I'm very good at asking questions.

Every facet of a set up is quite complicated.  Even power cord's can be challenging.  Name recognition is very important and there are so many names.

The technical aspects of everything involved is clearly overwhelming and requires a lot to barely understand.  I've learned enough to know that I really don't understand a lot.  At least I'm able to appreciate what I'm listening to which is all that really matters, and know if something sounds good.

Just my thoughts for what they are worth.

I remember when cd players were all the rage. I read an article about the Micromega stage two. I managed to get one and behold best sound player I’ve ever heard. It was so musical. Unfortunately it was not reliable. Thus began my frustration. It took 25 different players before I found The sound. Ended up with a Meridian 508.24. Not sure it was as musical as my Micromega, but it was as close asI could get. So my point here is, this hobby can be frustrating if you are looking for that  particular sound. 
 

For me it seems no matter what equipment you have at some point I think you get bored. So to counter that, I have 6 amps and 12 pairs of speakers. So when I get bored I switch out something. As been said, at some point you just have to enjoy the music. The journey ends when You end it.
