A couple of posts in TTP started me thinking about this. When do you say "Enough!" to the upgrade monster? Never? Tomorrow? When? Is it a cost issue for you? A performance issue? An "I've got other things I like too" issue? I suppose another way to ask the question is: Are you a movie/music person or an equipment person?
Personally, my system has slowly evolved to the point that I only have a couple of things I want to upgrade. At that time, I'll have reached MY cost vs. performance null point and will park upgrades for a few years. I've already hit that level with my source components (DVD player, CD transport/DAC, turntable/phono stage), my primary speakers, sub, interconnects and RPTV. Still to come are better amplification and matching center and surround speakers, but there is no hurry on these. I can go in, put on music or a movie and just sit back and enjoy. I don't sit there going "Oh, if I only had that Whizbang Model 99999a".
Some members are even happier with their systems as-is, and some aren't. Burke Strickland and Jeff Kowerchuck (the original posters regarding this) will hopefully hop in here with their thoughts. What about you?
