Looking for that best sound which can never be had. There is always something better.

That's ok for whoever wants to do that. Its all part of being in this hobby. I got off that merry go round in the late 1980's. To me its a waste of money and time worrying about whats the next big thing. I'm of the mind that I should get the gear thats voiced to my liking....get the best cable and interconnects and speaker wire that enhances the sound I like and leave it alone...if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it. Thats just me.....I wont change until I feel theres something missing. I buy music and enjoy the music. To me it's all about the music and its enjoyment. To me certain music should be very personable. It helps me when i'm down, and can lift me when need be, and can put me in a certain mood.
Couldn't agree more. I'm definitely not a "gear geek," as I like to term some of my audio friends, nor am I chasing the 'absolute sound.' I simply look for something that brings me closer to the music. My last upgrade was 13 years ago and the only reason I'm chasing speakers now is thanks to the size of the living room in the house we bought a few years back.
