Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed?


I'm talking $50,000 and higher amps, speakers, cablesetc. I know there is excellent sounding gear from $100 to infinity (much is system dependent, room, etc). However, just curious if someone made the leap and deep down realize the "expected" sound quality jump was not as much as the price jump. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to make that jump. However, looking at another forum's thread about price point of diminishing returns got me wondering if anyone had buyers remorse. It's not easy to just "flip" a super high priced component.

spend big money on a new listening room or new house

build it on top of a big block of granite too
I like Randy's idea.   Put on top of 1/2 dome in Yosemite.  Now that, would be the ultimate high end.

It takes years to fine tune a high end system.   You don't just open the boxes, hook them together and think you've got it...you don't
The more one upgrades....the more one upgrades.

I always wonder, even after a new component I like, how can I take the improvement further
It's a never ending proccess, what's wrong with it, anyway ? Unless it becomes a clear obsession - nothing, I guess.
