order of improving sound quality in system?

Hello I wanted to hear from people on what there opinion is on the order of system components including cables on what makes the biggest difference in sound, myself I would start with speakers, amp, preamp, cd player and cables, just wondering for future knowledge on things to make the biggest difference when upgrading, thanks.

The choice is too system dependant. Any component could be the weakest link. Cables can be the difference between good sound and "magic", so they are important too.

I say buy the best speakers you can and work from there. Amp and pre-amp choices will synergized with the speakers. Source components improve most any amp/speaker combo. Use cabling to fine tune your system. Change the speakers and you may need to start all over except for source gear.
