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.

Some time ago I used to go to various shows, where I could listen to stuff I never will be able to afford. Some of sounded amazing and you wanted to sell your kidney, some not so much. But in general dcs, MBL, Lamm, Focal Utopia, etc sounded spectacular in their mega-buck setups, so if you have $$$ and proper room treatment, why not.. It is a hobby at the end... At the end it is not how it sounds, but how do you feel it sounds and how you enjoy the music.
PS there was only high-end brand which sounded for my ears offensively, Walmart stereo bad every time I heard it - 47 labs reference series. And yet many audiophiles love and swear by them... go figure.
