Is your system amazing and you just dont see it?
I try to live with the philosophy ‘want what you have’I enjoy my system and I am sure it can be improved and others would prefer something else. And I even question if it was worth the time and money - most days I would say yes and the other days ...

@inna At first I thought some of my friends were perfectly normal and thankfully the proved to be otherwise.  Much more fun that way!

In rereading the question...My bills are simple - my mortgage.My resource allocation for money is simple too.  I save a portion of my money for 'fun money' and that is what I have used to spend on audio equipment.  That fun money is purely discret...

Where do folks who don’t spend money on audio equipment get their money.  After all you can’t take it with you....And I make money by advising people on priorities and resources allocation.

@samzx12 Thanks...I have a McIntosh (amp/pre) MC 302 & C2600 .  I was lucky to pick them up last year as a demo unit.  What are you using to drive your speakers? 
Sonus Faber speakers
@samzx12 I was curious on how much an impact of the construction methods and the 'upgraded' speakers would have on performance.I ultimately upgraded from the Sonetto V to the Olympica Nova 5 when given a trade in opportunity that was too good to p...

@samzx12 are you sharing your experience of listening to them or sharing what you learned from you tube?As I am simply sharing my experience in listening and an understanding of Sonus faber's updating the Olympica.When taking a step back at Sonus'... 
The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound
Cool. Listening is a simple thing that I know how to make complex - I can switch from listening to remembering and then thinking. And whatever works for you - do it.

The Sonetto's are a great speaker.  I had a McIntosh MC 302 driving them and they sounded very good.I expect the Olympica IIIs to be good speakers but I'm not sure if there's going to be a significant improvement over the Sonettos.  The Sonettos w... 
Would you Upgrade?
My first response is if you think it is an upgrade and you enjoy listening more due to the change it is.My personal opinion is I would also consider other speakers - B&Ws make quality speakers yet they cause my ears to hurt after a little whil... 
Vinyl cleaning - Ultrasonic vs. Walker products
I recently purchased an Audio Desk System.  I have been cleaning records prior to playing them and then putting a new jacket on the records.  I haven't been cleaning the records after every play and haven't considered a need.The reduction in noise...
