What to do when you spend more time optomizing tweaks (cones and footers) than enjoying music?

Has anyone ever found the compulsion to optomize the tweak or upgarde, out of control, such that you were completely distanced from the music ? What did you do when that happened?
For example, in using Symposium Audio issolation platforms as shelves in my stand, I found that the position of their couplers and/or roller-blocks could radically alter the sound of my Spectral gear. Even minute variation produced audible differences. While I always heard differences, I am not able to say which is better or which I like more. I end up continually thinking about the differences and not the music.
I am seriously thinking of just using the equipment with the feet it came with.
Fellow inmates, how have you proken the obsession and returned to the music?
