What is most important part of a system?


I remember reading someone saying that the most important part of a system was the source. I thought "Wrong! Speakers are the most important".
 
Now, I have changed my mind. Source is the most important part.

Right or wrong but this is how I came to this conclusion;

I have tried the same system with a CD player and a turntable. By far LP sounds better than a CD. Btw, the system had all high-end amps, speakers, cables, etc.

What is most important part of a system for you?

That was a mouthful, so what came first the chicken or the egg? Maybe I missed it but what was most important? I trust my own ears, no book or expert can lay it out for me. Give me pointers perhaps but ultimately its up to me .

actually, the value of the bow often far exceeds the value of the violin, even very good violins.
It was just an analogy.
