Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation?
What is this need for novelty and change? The need for better I can understand. The need for change however, to be changing things just for the sake of change strikes me as so.... inefficient. 
Where does it end?
I don’t know where "the end" is. Not in terms of price. Not in terms of things you can do. Not even in terms of self-serving virtue-signaling posts. (Look how great I am! I can afford expensive stuff!)I will however venture that when it gets to wh... 
If the PS Audio Stellar 700M is as great as all the reviewers say....
why are there so many used ones for sale?Because the market is where the rubber meets the road. Whole lot of stuff sounds just great until you get it home. That is why a big part of learning to read reviews is learning to read actual user comments... 
I need more Power Scotty !!!!
Receiver. Mini-monitors. And you want.... mono-blocks?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFGmhvx1elkStill the best reply. Never to be improved upon. Just sayin'. 
Where does it end?
Having a hard time understanding the question. What do you mean, "end"? 
Tube Rolling Woes
Ghosthouse nailed it. Audiophiles love to talk about expectation bias. Which is largely fake, by the way. Hardly anyone ever talks about recency bias, which seems to be hard-wired into our brains. You made a change, its not perfect, you assume all... 
Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"?
As a relative new comer I still continue to wonder why 'audiophiles' continue to ask for opinions on what sounds best. Best sounding amps, best sounding speakers, best sounding cables, and on and on. Everyone has their own opinion, why don't you p... 
Anyone have the Answer?
scott22-OK time for a new guy with limited audio knowledge to ask a stupid question or two to try to get some elementary understanding as I am obviously missing something. if you turn up the volume to the max while not playing music and hear nothi...

I don't think you understand the full seriousness of the situation.https://youtu.be/S-S4JpRkvUE?t=26 
Measuring amp power.
Well honestly that is rather pointless. The problem is what I said, there are lots of ways to measure power. The industry standard RMS is rather complicated, and involves preheating with a load far higher than any you are likely to ever do, to get... 
Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz
If you go to high quality sound it will probably be less of a problem. I would go to records, tubes, and put everything on Pods and Podiums. The analog and tubes will lessen the hyped fake detail (etch) of digital that triggers tinnitus, and the P... 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
The lower the frequency the longer the wavelength and so therefore the larger the treatment must be. Low bass waves are 50 ft and more so bass traps are relatively large. I had one in my room, tried it all over the place, it is now hanging from th... 
Anyone have the Answer?
What I been saying for years, the single most cost-effective power improvement is to replace the standard outlet to outlet circuit with a dedicated line. The details of wire, gauge, etc are very minor compared to this one thing. 
Measuring amp power.
There are lots of ways. Why?
