And the biggest influence on sound quality is...

The quality of the recording itself.

Then the room, the setup, the speakers, and lastly the front end.

I've got recordings that make my system sound horrible, and I've got recordings that make my system sound absolutely wonderful.

None of the gear changes have had that much impact on sound quality.

I'm thinking that you have it backwards. You have records that sound horrible or wonderful and your system sounds the same with either.
