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.

Everest cables by Audioquest are $21,000 and Audioquest HDMI cables are $13,000. I think that probably qualities Audioquest for the $uper High end. Obviously Audioquest sells mor3 “affordable”cables, too. I don’t know how much the new Hurricane power cord is but I have a sneaking suspicion it’s not cheap. I patiently await Bo’s write-up of the Hurricane power cord and his thinking about Cable and Power Cord Directionality.
The Everest are discontinued cables. Are not there anymore for many many years. Second the most expensive hdmi cable is the Diamond and costs 935 dollar. 

You are talking nonsense. The Hurricane is even in the US below 1500 dollar. The most expensive one the Dragon is  below 5000 dollar.

Audio is all about facts :)

Bingo!

besides, it doesn’t make sense that Audioquest which has been high end for a very long time suddenly went, what, MidFi. If it doesn’t make sense it’s not true.
