Most expensive Audio disapoinment?

Over the past decade, many different types of technology have come and gone.Some of the components made though quite expensive,they never lived up to consumer satisfaction.I guess I am wondering how many people jump to buy the first of all new technology only to later realize the price always drops after while.Example Pioneer AX10 $5or $7k new, now they are out dated,Door stops.

My friend's Marten Coltrane Prime, 70k price tag, Maybe the system is not right, not the speaker itself? But my friend does not want to hear it anymore after he listened Tidal Sunray.

Magnepan 3.6s playing Pink Floyd (narrowly avoided)
Musical Fidelity's "tube buffer" (I fell for this one)
And, luckily it wasn't mine, but a local dealer has a McIntosh amp (don't know which one) connected to a dcs DAC and some expensive Focal speakers. This was one of the worst systems I've ever heard.

Most expensive audio disappointment?

Finding out you can never be satisfied with the system you put together, regardless how good great or outstanding it actually may be.

In other words the audio treadmill of incessantly buying and trying this and that, then reselling this or that, never comes to a complete stop for you, it just slows down now and then... and you will never get off it.

Now that right there is about as expensive an experience as you may or may not, find.
