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?

You don’t have a problem. You just like to hear how the sounds of recordings vary on different equipment. 
 

I prefer to figure it out once until all my recordings sound as great to my ears, and then sit back and listen.
