I swap out gear all the time. I have several pairs of speakers that all sound good, but different. I have two main listening spaces. In my loft, I have vintage gear and three systems running with four pairs of speakers. Using my Wiim Mini streamers and Spotify (say what you will, but I can't get Qubuz to do this) I can easily switch between all three stereos (one is hooked up to my computer via an AudioQuest Dragonfly), which allows me to test different music on each system/speaker pair. Downstairs it's a little more complicated, but still swap out gear there every few months. OCD, lack of impulse control? Dunno... at nearly 59, I don't really need or want to change. :)
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?
