Dollars have nothing to do with this. I thought that has been established for a long time between everyone here. It is the parts and the design that make the sound not the amount.
Example - Nichicon capacitors versus WIMA. V-Caps versus clarity - Shinkoh, Mills & Audio Note resistors versus others. Plitron transformers & Chokes versus Hammond, etc. Same foe with speakers - paper cones versus aluminum drivers, tweeter types, Alnico magnets, cabinet materials and design. Once you understand how these things have an effect on the sound you will finally get it. If not then you are going round and round.
I do not understand the terms being used in threads blew away - built like a tank, etc. In what ways did one sound better than the other and what music were you listening to where you can point out the differences. References to how the sound change is important for the rest of us to understand the differences.
Happy Listening.
