The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change

OCD

I don't think it's OCD as much as a lack of impulse control that said there are worse addictions to have than high end audio gear.

I really like the idea of keeping a small group of tube integrateds to swap in to a system, sadly I find myself unable to go that route at this time.  I don't think there's a problem any more than wanting to listen to different types of music or eat different foods ore experiment with meals you've made before.

Some folks love the process and some like the destination. The pursuit is the analytical process of assessing, comparing, and searching for better. I am a destination person, I will put in one to,two years of intense work. Then sit back and enjoy the music for five to ten years.
