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.

For 30 years my receiver based system was good enough.
....then I discovered Audiogon and the word 'audiophile'.
I've been pursuing the elusive holy grail ever since.

...you'll know it when it hits you.

It's kind of like falling in love.  You realize that you have something very good...not perfect, but probably better than most and you're happy with it.
