After almost 30 years as an audiophile I finally recognize the "satisfaction factor" in audio. Looking back there's only a few systems that made music. BTW I'm 44. But there's been many components that didn't make it...
The thing is does your system keep you up at night listening to music? Do you play new music into the late hours? Do you ever dance into the night?
There's a few systems that have pulled that off...a few over the years.
Not too many I guess....
The Berning / Audio Research tube combo
The Electrocompaniet preamp / Musical Fidelity Tube Amp
The N.E.W. amp / NEAR speakers
The Panasonic digital amp / Audio Physic Virgo speakers
I'm sure others too, but let music be the guide, you know...
Yes there's a number of magical combinations.
Make sure you get one that works for you, I wouldn't miss out!
Life's too short...
