Hi, Matthew,
My system has been evolving since 2005, when I started to take my stereo seriously after 25 years of compromise. It's basically as good as it will ever get because I'll be retiring in the next year or two and won't have the financial means to continue upgrading like I have the past decade. As components start to degrade and wear out I'll be replacing them with lower priced components. It won't always mean a big reduction in sound quality because the level of performance for many components has gotten better with advances in design and materials.The two components that I think will be the toughest for me to lower my standards on are the speakers and the phono cartridge. Not surprisingly, these are the beginning and ending of the analog signal chain and both rely on mechanical transducers. But I was enjoying my stereo through several iterations before I purchased the speakers and cartridge that I'm using now so I think I'll survive. Still, I will miss the current peak of performance. If there's any consolation, my hearing will get worse as I get older and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. :-)
Regards,
Tom
