My system sounds better than ever.......Yet, I STILL bought another preamp!!

Just now paid for it. Yep...a tube preamp. (deHavilland Ultraverve 3) Why did I buy this? Is it because I’m the guy with a backwards system...a tube amp and SS preamp?  That's totally backwards but it sounds fantastic.Then too, I’ve wanted a tube preamp for years but I bought everything else. So I’ll see how the tube preamp acts with my tube amp. If its as good as reports and reviews say, I’ll be very happy...... But i'm somewhat baffled that I have bought another component when my  system  sounds so good. This is really a weird sickness....or is it just madness, or old age?

It's none of those. Besides being an Audiophile (no offense) you are also a scientist. "Why did I buy this?" because you wonder what effect it will have.

My current system is the best I've ever owned but I'd still like to know what Klipsch Forte IIIs mated to a Pass XA25 and ARC Ref 6 would sound like! To put this into other terms: Why do I look at other women? I may be married but I'm not dead!
