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?

show me the blind listening test results

Give me 30 seconds in your system forget about going blind.  Most people have never heard a DHT component.
It is not just a change, it is an experience never heard before.

Happy Listening.

Well, bigkidz,
Sounds pretty dam logical isn't that?
If there's a $35k budget for DAC, why not try $250 DAC and see what changes positive or negative rite?

great question , but its all important garbage in garbage out so a good front end is important, the right speakers are also just as important they all sound different in my room anyway , room acoustics very important or your never get the best out of any component, a better quality sounding amplifier can make a huge difference to sound quality ie going from a good ss to a great valve or vacuum tube amp is an incredible experience ,also trying a passive pre amp can be incredible also but im going with the front end as the man behind linn said garbage in garbage out , another wise man once said you cant polish s**t
