I'm quite content with what I own. But wish I had heard the more upscale version of my DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 3's - the 3XL's in a better system when I first listened to them both in 2009, as I'd have preferred them overall. Yet as matters stand - I'm on a cartridge quest for about 5-8 cartridges and I'm done. I merely don't see continuing to make lateral upgrades if that?, and be happy with my well balanced and carefully chosen system as it stands. In the end it merely comes down to realizing where we must all draw the line!, things can sound slightly different then what I own, but soundwise I'm happier then I've been in 10 years of searching for the Illusion of TAS. It's all about the LP collection in my view. Regards,Oscar
