Upgrade phenomenon


What do you call the improvement to your system that you get after you’ve made a new purchase, but before you’ve even received the new component, speaker, cable, or doohickey? I shifted my speakers a tiny bit. I looked at the GIK website and took some room measurements to investigate room treatments. I bought my first new tube power amp after months of agonizing and research and saving spare change (and maybe a little embezzlement, but that’s a secret). I bought some new cables. But I haven’t changed anything yet, just placed the orders. Is my system just happy because I’m finally giving it some TLC and buying it presents?

Take a look at my thread... I explain how with almost no cost or very low one, with homemade solutions, and low cost products I created Hi-Fi experience... It is fun and you will feel very proud at the end... read my last post there that explain my principle and endeavour...

The one who takes his audio fate in his own ends smile....Way more simpler than you think, and way more fun than buying new costly electronic components...

@noble100 it could be one of many System Transient Disorders as well. Do I need a blood test or can you diagnose me over the internet?
Hello cat_doorman,

     Don't tell anyone, but I'm actually an amateur Audio Psychiatrist and I have an amateur surgery room setup in my garage.
    I usually just wing it with my diagnoses but in your case, being as you are actually a doorman for cats, I'm able to make a purrfectly accurate fake diagnosis  without any pesky tests.  I typically only use blood tests to look more legit when I need some money and I'm scamming some poor sap into an expensive but totally unnecessary brain surgery in my garage.
     I've really got to start using some actual medical instruments instead of the assortment of rusty garden tools I'm currently using.  I'm kinda feeling bad about all the blood, mess, pain and disfigurement I'm causing.  I'm using a spool of weed whacker line to close up my jagged incisions for goodness sake.
     But the money's good and I still really enjoy my work.

Mums the word,
      Dr. Tim
