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.

In my small home studio I use Mogami GOLD balanced monitor, midi and mic cables. I thought about trying Mogami's on my main home system as well since they sound so nice and are quiet as a mouse. Pretty much BlueJeans cables in main home system except speaker cables (Canare star quad)
I just ordered a Mogami mini stereo to dual RCA wire to connect a new Chord Mojo Portable DAC to my home system.   Expecting good things!  Cost way more than most sold to home users but not as much as many audiophile wires.   I want quality and performance from my wires, not a tone control.
Tomcy6  I will use some items I have actually personally purchased. First off would be a pair of altec  604E speakers for 1200 then would be a pair of atmosphere M 60 mono blocks for 1800 
 Then a pair of Phillips 12 inch sub drivers for 300Built some boxes for 100Sumo Polaris  amp to power those 200
dahlquist dq lp1 crossover 150(needed a pot replaced)
Bottlehead beepre preamp for 1500
ayre qb9 dac for 800(used original version pcm only)

Keen eye will notice I've gone over 5K but I am talking Canadian pesos so I should still be under 5K USD. I went digital because if I went with my analog rig I would be way over. 

The 604s are key as they are perfect for the otl's at 16 ohms. The otl's are a step up over everything I've ever heard  and I've heard a lot!

Thanks for the reply analogluvr.  I think it would take a very experienced audiophile to put that system together.  It's not a system that someone just getting into good sound or even myself, with some experience, would put together.  It is inexpensive by audiophile standards, though.
