    Haha, I love the "im REASONABLY happy" comments lol.

    It's no bad thing to keep trying to improve I suppose but I'd forgotten to really just listen to the music. Have to say, I'm not sure what's happened at my house but the Missions seem to sound bigger than before. New speaker wire burnt in ? (that's a joke BTW)

    Been upgrading steadily for three years now.

    Mine used to catch me out with a 'wow' moment every now and then. Ridiculously good little speakers!

    Aah yes, the endless is it...isn't it....brain draining mind fuck that is the Audiophile. Been there - done it, many times. I used to listen for a couple of hours a day.....when I say listen....that was to the bits of equipment. Now I have a session about 2 or 3 times a week and listen to music. Sounds Marvellous.

    The honest answer is... sometimes.

    With the right recording and in the mood it sounds sublime. Although there's always the itch to try something differenct.

    Anyone who says they are 100% happy with their system is either lying, or is very undiscerning, or is winding you up by pretending they have one over you, or is slightly deranged etc etc.

    Happy enough is about as good as it gets I think. As long as I get my hits of absolute awesomeness every now and then I am happy. Now I'm at it But then again, my system IS better than yours.

    Well my system sounds bloody marvellous and i don't feel like changing anything.

    (that's not to say nothing will change though. Vinyl will be taking on a secondary role instead of being at the forefront)

    Yeah, you know how parents tend to keep the crap items you made in wood shop at school? Mine were so bad they binned them without a second thought.

    I'd be 100% happy if I hadn't heard better. That is the key really. Don't ever listen to anyone else's system unless you are confident that it will be worse than what you already have

    I'm very happy with my system, thanks for asking

    It has come on by quite a few incremental jumps this year, mainly the amplification from phono stage through to mono block power amps>
    Then improvements to the TT and a new (to me) cart. Even the CD source is sounding pretty darn good.

    @ Justin, I'll go with the slightly deranged thanks

    I very recently re-plumbed the sub into the system, although I am now in a smaller room when compared with last year it has still had that expansive impact from bottom to top. Don't quite understand it but quite a few people say the same.

    Just enjoying setting up an all vintage system for TV duties in the lounge as well. With judicious use of all the controls on the NEC amplifier it is sounding rather good.
