Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system


Hello to all...

I'm looking for opinions on the magic formula for purchasing components base on catergories:

Source or sources

Control

Amplification

Sound Transmission

Interconnection and Cabling

Setup and storage

Thoughts? Opinions? Your system "equation" ?

PS: which of the above is the most important block in the wall?

Ha, +1 Al, a great response which fell within the 3 minutes of my two responses. 


50% at most must be attributed to the parts of the audio systems, more than 50 % to the complex embeddings...

Which is the use of marvellous pricey speakers in a bad acoustical room?
I prefer magic stuff to idiotic ramblings tough....Especially when it is against others and in their back.....
There is no magic formula. Theres advice from fellow music loving enthusiasts. But I don't  believe in spending alot of your resources on cables.But that's my feelings.
