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.
If only manufacturers had the capital to build products that impress and then create a tiredness and then loathing enough to dump perfectly good equipment.... Most of these companies are so tiny and sales so low, they won't even be around in 5 years. And even if they could pull off this diabolical plot, why would someone come back and buy from the same company that they now believe is tiresome to listen to? @boxcarman likely has the best answer.

That has a lot to do with it, plus if you're a gear-head (nothing wrong with that), you're always going to be looking for the next big thing. It's like guys with customized cars. There is no end point, only a continuous series of upgrades to make things better/faster/louder. |
