The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change

OP,

Try to listen to THE music and not the equipment and that will resolve your disease. BTW, what is that on your system page? Looks like a burned power cable?

milpai That’s like saying "just drive the car" and don’t worry about the lack of comfort or performance or "just go to sleep" and don't worry about the discomfort of the bed or the broken air conditioner making the room 90 degrees!

After you achieve a certain fidelity level of gear, there is no endless upgrade, but only the need to try something different. One can get bored with the same sound from the same gear all year long. Manufacturers don’t get brighter and brighter by the day and can keep offering you better sound... they rinse/repeat/rehash the same thing in different packages (market it differently) after a certain point.

I have 2 multichannel rigs and 3 stereo rigs in 2 rooms to mix it up. They tend to sound very different (different forms of entertainment) and i won’t be selling any of it.

deep_333: It’s nice to have and experiment with different systems and combinations! It trains your ears to be more discerning to small changes, doesn’t it? It allows me to tell good from bad in just a few notes.
