Franchise player-the one untouchable component

We're all probably familiar with the term "franchise player" or "cornerstone of what we're building here" bandied about in sports. Knowing what you know now, if you had to start a system all over, what single component would you begin with? For me it would be my preamp, it's the signal caller that calls all the shots and puts the team (system) in a position to win. I seek a quick, dynamic, round system, the balanced offense where no one frequency spectrum is favored. No double tight-end I-Formation bass to 18 Hz or bust here!

Use whatever analogy you like, football, baseball, painting, military strategy, whatever. My question is where do YOU begin? And why?

Here is my seven sophisticated steps:

1-room
2-powerline arrangements (wall sockets)
2-speakers with cheap basic speaker cables
3-amplification along with source(analogue first)and cheap interconnects
-- analogue source is to start building from
-- a-cartridge
-- b-phono
-- c-table
-- d-arm
4-speaker cables, interconnects advanced as tweaks
5-digital source(preference to CD-DAC combo)
6-powerline tweaks
7-other tweaks
