Throw out the part about shaping the sound, it's vague and shouldn't apply. An equalizer and tweaks shape the sound. IME, the interconnects from CDP to preamp will have the greatest impact and influence on the sound. Start at the source. You want a cable that will faithfully transfer the signal (information) to the preamp.

Who's right?
