I am unqualified to render a diagnosis. However, I respectfully suggest asking yourself 2 questions. First, are you having FUN with the swapping of equipment and accessories? Second, do you feel you are NEGLECTING family, friend, financial, or other priorities when you spend time your audio swapping? If you are having fun and feel other important aspects of your life are balanced, I suspect you are simply a music appreciation hobbyist. God bless!
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?
