Are You Content With Your System?

I have a Mark Levinson 335, Mark Levinson 39, B&W N803s All Harmonic technology cables and Slamander synergy racks. My audio room is only 17x13. In the future I want to change my N803s and get my Favorite Revel Salons or the Studios. I have wanted them for a long time. And I also want the Levinson mono blocks. But knowing that I sit back and turn my system on. I turn down the lights and light a candle I pick a nice new age cd that is well recorded and close my eyes and wow! My system sounds so great I am so content with the sound and the looks.(levinson gear is beautiful) Well the point Iam trying to make is even though we all know that we can do and have better are you content with what you have? If I never got another peice of gear again I would be happy with the system I put together.I know there are better systems than mine but I also feel Iam at the point of diminishing returns. But there is always room for improvements. Well now that I got off the topic what are you guys using and are you content? What is your dream system? Regards DANIEL

Drewfidelity, I also listen to my Magnum Dynalab Etude Tuner more than my digital source. If you've got a good station locally with an uncompressed signal it's VERY good quality with the right tuner. I'd recommend the Magnum or Fanfare models Etude or 1A or above to anyone looking to discover new classical/jazz.

I've only been a balls out, crazy ass audiophile for a little over two years, and for the first twenty months wasn't very close to what I thought I could achieve sonically. A lot has changed recently because I switched to tubes and found power cords that are doing the trick for me.

For a long time I lived with bright, closed in, unmusical sound, that is now transforming into open, glorious music. About a month ago, I actually spent close to fourteen hours listening to my little system. I didn't have anything to do that day, but I was well rewarded.

So the question is, "am I content"? I don't know how to answer that, but I'm pretty damn happy!

Hey,
I would listen to more radio if my digital preamp allows me to input an analog source. My tuner and turn table has been sitting sadly in the corner of my living room

KCRT of Santa Monica is a great station that I always listen to in my car. I would listen to it at home too if...

Gunbei, sorry I meant KCRW, I think. It's 89.9, I think. You know, the public radio station broadcasting from SMC.

I can't emphasize enough how much I like this station. It has ethnic music, ecletic music, news, commentaries, a different mix every day, every hour. I love the Saturday is Eclectic. Lounge and downtempo music is my style.

I used to work near Culver too at some crappy AV store.
