The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change


Anybody have an answer?

I have a decent selection of preamps, amps, integrateds and speakers to choose from and I find myself swapping out gear constantly.  And it's not because anything sounds bad.  Quite contrary, really.

After most swapping sessions, I'm generally really satisfied and quite enjoy the sound quality.  But within a few weeks I'm swapping stuff out again.

What would be the diagnosis for my condition?

Thanks for your compliment.

 

Although my system does not look tidy with tangled cables, it shall sound decent due to my 45 years of audio history.

 

All my three children got married with nice job, thus I have room to spend some money on audio components.

 

While my children were attending university, I voluntarilty refrained from spending money on audio.

 

Thus my wife has no serious complaint about my spending which is within my income.

 

But I leave some money on behalf of my four grandchildren.😁
