Upgraditis?

Anyone here in constant upgrade mode?  Listening to the same choice records or CDs over and over again after some new change in gear?
 Unfortunately, I find myself in this mode far too often.  Eventually this becomes a way of life.
 Music becomes secondary to the latest tweak. As a retired musician, theoretically, this shouldn’t happen to me. But it does.  I should be listening to new works and comparing performances.
 It’s a dangerous trap!

Elizabeth,

You really can’t go wrong with Beethoven Sonatas and String Quartets.
 You can hear new things in the music  every time you listen.

It was meant to be timeless. That is why it is still played today. 
Too bad current popular music seems to find this irrelevant.

Yeah, I'm that way with the Verdi Requiem. There are approximately 40 different performances, with varying orchestras, choruses, soloists, conductors and venues.     Have only spun eight of them on my (relatively) new BCD-3 and am panting to hear and compare the remainder; however, I'm probably on my last CD player - - difficult to top perceived perfection.   BTW: My latest purchase of the late Beethoven Quartets (Lindsay String Quartet) is a problematic keeper.
