What am I looking for ?

[Jerome W]

Sometimes, I really wonder what am I looking for.
Tonight my mother sleeps in the sofa in the main listening room.
Wife was in a bad mood and kept bashing me all day long. She is sleeping now so I can have some rest D !
So I'm left in the secondary system listening to the Rega P9 / Exact cartridge, through the ARC REFERENCE PHONO 2 preamp, the Shindo Apetite integrated and the PMC EB1i, at low volume so all the sleepers of the home can sleep.
And I'm getting the sound I love above all: finesse, delicacy, richness of tones and colors. Speed and Rythm. Transparency. Connection to the live event. And all this at low volume.
Honestly, nothing is missing TO ME.
So, thinking again about buying a Verdier TT or the Shindo 301, I can't refrain from asking myself : why can't I enjoy what I have ?
I know that the P9 does not give a perfect sound. But really, it gives a delicious sound. Ultra musical. And I'm thinking about Alberto and his old Thorens and Clearaudio Maestro cart. Not perfect for sure. But enough for his ears and musical bliss.m
For sure, I do not need an other TT. I do not need an other cart.
Shindo amplification makes me focus on the Music like never before, in this second system, and in my main system.
All I need is to listen to music.
All I need is to listen to music....
All I need....
