I sure do hope so & I get a whole heap of what you've got.

1KW,

I'm glad I'm not the only one. We rather similar systems and I am quite happy just listening. There are times when I get a nudge or I hear of how great this is or that is, then I sit back, relax and listen and the urge slowly fades.

You ask if the passion is gone. I don't think so. IMHO there is the passion to upgrade and then there is passion for music, just listening to music. Stop worrying.. just continue to enjoy!...

Do you still find yourself still listening to your system as much as when you were making the upgrade/component changes? I think this is an important piece of information.....

I listen just about every day. Sometimes with my morning coffee or when I'm doing paper work or with a glass of wine . My home theater could use a makeover however

I am very nearly there too. Just need to demo a few preamps and I am done for a while yet. Of course going to shows doesn't help!

---Methinks you're done when you stop looking around.
But if you keep checking on what's available in this planet about your hobby, you'll never stop till you're dead!

David,
You are simply satisfied.
If buying audio gear is a passion, it is rather sad.
The passion should be in music. Not in gear.
You have reached that point.
