More expensive = better?


Because I have never owned any very high end gear I’m wondering if an $8000 integrated amp will sound jaw dropping better than a $5000 one? Right now my system is Parasound JC2 and SMC Audio DNA1 Gold. 

Thanks in advance,

There is a GS-150 for sale 2 hours from here. $8,000. I wish I had the guts to get it. Concerned about buying something used for that kind of money. A whole set of tubes cost at least $1,000.

As others have mentioned there is a law of diminishing returns when purchasing more expensive gear.

When I am evaluating new components I compare what I am shopping for to my reference (my current system)
