ALso, when I upgrade, I try to do it one reasonably small step at a time. That provides a better chance of getting it right and retaining value without overspending.
Once you dump megabucks into that one silver bullet upgrade, cost being no object, it is hard to go back, finances permitting.
From fast food, to health care, colleges, movies, to "Real Housewives" to high end audio, I suppose bigger, better, more is often the American way. Its a big reason why we are where we are these days. Too much of the wrong kinds of progress that often benefits few and might actually harm many. Hopefully we have learned something and are largely past this at this point with the homes we live in. Why not audio as well?
Is this heresy to express on a high end audio site? I hope not. "High End" can be a relative and not absolute thing I hope.
