Do you buy new equipment because you are bored

What is it you are hearing that makes you think you might be bored with your fantastic system? Or what is it you are not hearing that you think you need to add to your system.
I ask this because I only upgrade when I hear something that is so, to my ears, outrageously better that I am willing to spend the money to get it. Otherwise I am quite content with what I have.
There will always be better or lesser systems, if you are at a point that there are only different ones, "congratulations".
Maybe all you need is new music.

Do you buy new equipment because you are bored

Seems that some threads are started because of boredom.

The fact is that I seem to get a boost out of getting something new. It helps stir the excitement back into the hobby. I know just what your feeling.
Good question.

Everything here is mostly mental issue. So, yeah, why not? I don't do it because of the expense involved, common sense usually prevails.

Clearly it's a mental issue. Change for the sake of change. A slippery slope to be sure.

Sometimes feel the same way, but generally regret it later when I act on it. Just enjoy the music.
