The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change


Anybody have an answer?

I have a decent selection of preamps, amps, integrateds and speakers to choose from and I find myself swapping out gear constantly.  And it's not because anything sounds bad.  Quite contrary, really.

After most swapping sessions, I'm generally really satisfied and quite enjoy the sound quality.  But within a few weeks I'm swapping stuff out again.

What would be the diagnosis for my condition?

I did the same thing with headphones until I found ones that I really enjoyed and realized all the money I wasted up to then beyerdynamic T1s v1. I’m sure there are better but I’m very satisfied with them and I am done.. with everything else I spend as much as I possibly can afford maybe a little bit over and I know I can’t afford to spend any more money and usually at that point I’m happy with what I get for it .. I still watch all the YouTube reviews and demos on speakers and equipment but I don’t get the urge to go out and spend thousands of dollars needlessly
