Ok this will be a good thread.

What in your opinion is the most important part of a good 2 channel system. Or what has the biggest impact on overall sound. For example if you feel Speakers are most important, or Preamp, Amp, Source. I am not looking for a ss vs. tube debate, just what do you feel is most important.

I will start:
I feel speakers are the most important part. I know lots of you are going to say electronics, but keep it to one part, like Preamp, Amp, etc.

Your music collection is far more important than the equipment it's played upon. A great system won't make bad music sound good, but great music is still great music even on bad systems.

Inpep, I did run the LP12 through the A40s. I ran the P3 through the Isobarik DMS speakers. There is no question that the Isobarik DMS speaker is miles better than the little $150 A40s. The amps were the same. Are you concluding that everyone that heard this thought that the A40s were a better speaker than the DMS?

If you think that there are bigger differences between speakers than sources, then you need to hear what a good analog setup sounds like. I know that we have widely differing opinions on just about everything, but I am just now finding out how wide those differences are.

Yea, Muralman, I must be losing my touch. BUT, just look at the post I just put on twl's "This will be a good thread" in Amp/Pre section (poor twl...). I'm figuring to get roasted alive! Your meter will be off the dial!

Ahhh, just like getting in a warm bath...
