No names no pack drill but some enthusiasts do seem to change bits of their hifi with each new moon sometimes. It's how they roll and they are entitled to do it, but 18 months after buying my AVI DM10's they still surprise and delight me when listening to some of my lesser-played albums. And so it has always been, not just the DM10's but every other piece of hifi I've ever bought. After all, most of us have day-jobs (or night jobs!) and there's only so much time you can devote to listening.
Don't get me wrong, if you clearly don't like the sound of your new amp / speakers / whatever, it's wise to get rid or take them back rather than try to learn to like them. I've said that in countless threads. But sometimes I do see people get shot of kit so quickly, and I think jeeze, you couldn't even nearly have assessed how that promises to perform over the long haul when you've only watched its first 100 meters.
The industry (this magazine included) of course wants you to swap and change incessantly. If we stopped buying kit, they would go out of business. But still.
