1. Evaluating gear/tweak - When something bad sticks out in my system which I cannot endure my quest for correction ensues. When I am evaluating new gear or a tweak, I am in full critique mode and thus unable to listen to music for pure enjoyment.2. No longer evaluating gear/tweak - Once I've accomplished fixing whatever was wrong with my system I go back to listening for pure enjoyment. I no longer search out anomolies while listening and just go with the flow of music. This period can last one month or for years, depending on how good/bad my system is.
This only works for me because I realize that: 1.) true perfection is likely unatainable, especially since I listen to so many genres of music; 2.) accepted reality of a limited budget.

Once I'm through with the initial setup process I almost never bother looking back.
On occasion, the room or some other aspect of the environment will prove to be hopelessly problematic for loudspeaker listening. In these cases, I'm usually quick to bring those efforts to a conclusion in order to get on with life in the form of headphone listening.
Whenever I attempt to improve my system I never chase down gear or tweak which improves one genre of music yet punishes the others. For example, I want distortion free, clean, clear, detailed sound. And sometimes certain gear can better achieve that for acoustic and vocal music than my current system, but will thin/bleach out rock music. It is always a compromise of some sort. So compromise must be acceptable to retain my sanity.
