How much __________(fill in the blank) do you need? Its the age old question. A Billionaire needs more $$$. A man with a gorgeous wife cheats on her with a woman who's looks are nowhere close to looking as good as the wife. A man has a beautiful car which does 0-60 in 4 seconds and top speed of 180+ is out looking for a faster or different car. Familiarity breeds Contempt!! Its the nature of man to want more or different. Why would Hifi be any different?

The element of your imagination has to come into the equation, or you’ll drive yourself mad. You have to fill in part of the experience with your mind.
But this explains the phenomenon of “upgraditis.”
