Simple - just be content with your system as it is.

Putting laxative in your boss's coffee then owning up to it will probably put any upgrade plans on hold.

There comes a point where you just have to stop and enjoy and appreciate what you've got. Start being wax lyrical about your system, forums like this are a great place to give your system exposure.

I have downgraded/downsized. Mainly due to space constraints and adopting realistic spending habits. (this may change in the future though)
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I'm just side-grading these days. To upgrade I need better room or better speakers. Neither going to happen anytime soon.

"Side-grading", that's a new one on me. A change of gear without any change in sound quality. What is the reason, apart from cosmetic?

Cosmetic mainly. Plus I just like buying equipment.

So do I, but I am at a temporary halt on that front now. We'll see about changes/upgrades later this year after I (hopefully) move home.

No, I think 'side grading' can bring about improvements in SQ, by trying out components that better match with your existing kit and room, and aren't necessarily more expensive.
