Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation?


There is a not too serious term audiophilia nervosa; it may be a joke, but it builds on a valid observation: there are people who are never content with their equipment in medium term.It is not the initial period, when one does know much about gear and learns; or the question of disposable income, when one gets the best they can afford, and upgrades untill he (or, probably less often, she) buys the dream system. Audiophilia nervosa is a state later on, a plateau, when a desired piece initially gives much satisfaction, yet it wears off, and the person gets uneasy and looks for smth. else.
To give a personal example, I was on a quest for my ultimate power amp. Had to be Pass Aleph; happened to find Aleph 4. Did not suit the speakers (Lowther Fidelio) too well; got other speakers (MBL 101b or c) ; still not there; got ML no. 23. Much better; but still uneasy about Aleph and speakers for it; got Gradient 1.5; fine with ML, Ok with Pass; exploring options, got Parasound 2200 mk2 (and a couple of PA amps). And I needed a preamp. Seller insisted on only trading ML no. 28 together with no. 27, — another power amp.
Now the ML 28 is there to stay; Gradient 1.5 are keepers too; but I’d keep old MBL101 even if they stopped working (I’d probably use them as garden sculptures), so they stay, too. But I have way too many power amps (the listed, and a few more), I would need to sell some.
The trouble is, I cannot decide. So, in order to decide, I rotate them. ML 23 is very good with MBLs, fine with the Gradients. ML 27 is very good with the Gradients. Parasound 2200 2 is very good with the Graients, - but in a different way. So I swap every few weeks, and I still cannot decide.
And after each break I [re-]discover things I like about the particular amp / amp-speaker combination.
Again and again...
Which made me think:
— What if this ‘rotation’ takes good care of my need for change and novelty?
After a while I will decide which one(s) to sell, and later on I will probably want smth. new. But for the time being, keeping and rotating them slows down my pace - and I see it as a good thing, as in the aftermath I do not think my decisions have been sufficiently well informed (for instance, I am getting used to the fact that I actually do not like sound of Pass Alephs as much as I thought I do, and my Aleph 4 may be the first to go).
inefficient
Anybody who believes they have purchased the optimal combination of components for their budget, is kidding themselves. There is no such thing as an optimal system regardless of budget, and there is no system that cannot be improved upon by swapping a component.

Anybody who thinks his system is neutral and has no weaknesses; I have a bridge to sell you. A really big one.

Components have areas in which they excel, and others they do not. By swapping out components you are able to enjoy the different strengths that these components have and what these strengths bring to your system as a whole.

Audiophilia is a journey, not a destination. 
Maghister, you seem a little intemperate these days.

So answer me this: when was the last time you added any component to your system/room?  "Component"=anything that is part of the audio system or part of the room's acoustical treatment.

When was the last time you moved or adjusted any component in your system or room?

Love is at the same time a journey and the destination...

Audio is the same...

Read someone post with open heart not only brain to rightfully 
 guess what this person speak about...

One month ago...

I know what i could do now....I am no longer  lost in my way and among too much possibilities ....Acoustic could be improved in my room like in ANY other room... But when the S.Q. reach some level, you listen music more than to the sound... It is my case now...
