When is your Hifi good enough?


Just wondering what makes people tick in regards to determining when things sound "good enough"?

For me I have a vision in my mind of how things should sound based on what I have heard over the years.  Once it sounds that way, I am done.   I can still enjoy listening to other sounds or sounds that omit some things I might want otherwise but if I do not get regular samplings of "that sound" I probably start to wonder.

Any system is more than enough AND no system will ever be enough.
Music is our joy and makes us jump, sing along, dance and play air instruments; Any system is enough to discover new music or to enjoy our favorite songs - I remember listening to cassettes on my Walkman and how effusively happy I was! 
But curiosity and knowledge lead us on an endless journey through infinite possibilities where no HiFi system will ever be enough.
In the end I guess it all depends on some factors that change from person to person: are we in the quest for all the music we can absorb in our short life? Or are we giving full attention to equipment instead of music? And also: how deep is our pocket and what are our priorities in life? 
 I have a nice system and I'm quite happy with it; I now favor music over gear; BUT  still plan to improve the system. It's a never ending story...
