You are welcome to do all that flipping and trying if you choose. I find it numbing.
The inference about my motives is unfounded as this is a purely personal preference. If you knew me better, you would see that I not fickle in my choices.

Most of my audio gear is over a decade old, that's with the exception of computer/streaming stuff which is a relatively new to me.
Plus I have never subscribed to an audio journal and would have never had a copy of one in my hands except for the fact that they give them away free at audio shows.
I currently have BOTH Stereophile AND Absolute Sound around here someplace, thanks to the California Audio Show a week or two ago.
Do you have a piece in one of them?
I don't know what issue you have, so I cannot say. As a reviewer, it is necessary for me to have reference equipment and that means that it needs to be of recent manufacture to be relevant to the reader. Also, I need keep up with new technology.
That said, I just changed the speakers in my CT house for the first time in about a decade and the main power amp there was purchased in 2000. One of the amps I use every day in the NYC system was purchased in 1995. OTOH, I change among EQs, DACs and file-streaming stuff more frequently because the technology is changing rapidly. I don't change cables unless absolutely necessary.
