After 35+ years in the hobby and endless cycles of buy...buy...buy...then dump it all, I've finally come to understand how my mind works in this regard. The more money you spend the higher the level of expectation. Beyond a certain financial point, one arrives at a system where it isn't the music drawing the focus of attention during a listening session, it's the equipment. At that point the battle is lost and it's time to start over.
When I sit in the little TV room listening to my secondary rig, it's all about the music. I wish I could just be satisfied at that level but my OCD won't allow it.
