Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade?

If not why are many hardly using the systems they assembled, why are so many upgrading fairly new gear that’s fully working? Seems to me many are designed to impress reviewers, show-goers, short-term listeners, and on the sales floor but once in a home system, in the long run, they fatigue users fail to engage and make you feel something is missing so back you go with piles of cash.

I agree with others in saying systems that are hard to listento probably have more to do with the room than the gear.

I am not so much on a quest to upgrade,  I am just trying to assemble a system that begs to be listened to for long periods.   I am almost at the end of the journey,  just waiting for my preamp to be built.  

I am careful where and what I spend $$$ on.  

Most of the time I will only buy something I can audition at home , in my system.

It is not often that I replace something in a short period if time.    My purchases tend to be something I would want to keep for a long time.
