I think that what you describe is fairly common in our hobby. I occasionally find myself trying to do the same thing, but usually catch myself and just get into the music. The truth of the matter is that we are all blessed with better sound quality than 99.999% of the population. I usually have 4-6 hours in a day to enjoy the music, and most of the time I count my lucky stars.
I should also say that I don't read the audio mags. I find they fuel the fire for me to be overly critical of the listening experience. And yes, I can also enjoy a good performance from a mini system.
Sometimes it can be difficult to seperate the gear from the music. It being all about the music, leads to happy listening. IMO
