My buying and selling is pretty much exactly as posted by Tvad above. I have found that sometimes an upgrade of one component requires changing another to maintain synergy, sort of an endless loop.
Rig building - When or Why, do you change devices?
I see some people change out gear like they change shirts & socks. Other’s less so. Though in all, many audiophiles repeatedly make component changes seemingly with regularity.
I thought I’d ask “Why, How, or When” do you determine a change in your system is necessary?
Is it all just about the money required for the moveing on or up?
Is it purely preferential?
Or is it just a “want for something different”?
Lastly, have you simply missed the off ramp for your own ‘gotta have it, gotta get it’, treadmill?
I thought this might convey some perspectives on the when’s and why’s of system building… for the newbie and the oldbees.
