What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ?

Reminds me of the old line, "What's the difference between a $2.00 cigar and a $10.00 cigar?"  Answer:  "$8.00"

One knows then the good old diminishing returns (more money than sense is a better term) has truly set in when one's stereo is to good for Redbook CD's........haha

Past year I upgraded plenty*, and NOW, my CD playback is spectacular. I mean SPECTACULAR!!!! WHOO HOO SPECTACULAR. Any questions?
* up from 3.6 to 20.7 Magnepan
Up from cheap used DAC to Marantz SA-10 used as DAC
Upgraded all AC duplex (including in power conditioners) to Furutech GTX-D
Upgraded most power cords to Pangea AC14XLAdded PS Audio Noise Harvesters (7) to AC lines and conditioners.
And did I mention CD playback is spectacular.. (so is LP playback btw)
