Ok this will be a good thread.

What in your opinion is the most important part of a good 2 channel system. Or what has the biggest impact on overall sound. For example if you feel Speakers are most important, or Preamp, Amp, Source. I am not looking for a ss vs. tube debate, just what do you feel is most important.

I will start:
I feel speakers are the most important part. I know lots of you are going to say electronics, but keep it to one part, like Preamp, Amp, etc.

Twl, while I am a bit new here-abouts, I compliment you in the consistency of your posts your posts, and you don't mind taking on the whole room in the process. Any such person, I do admire. Your posts are informative and provacative. thank you. Oh, having said that, you might be thinking that I will be adding the proverbial 'but' to my sentence.

[anything preceeding the word 'but' in the English sentence is to be regarded...]

Well, no. I have started with the source. The reason for this has to do with a visit to the McIntosh local outlet where I was auditioning the new six-channel solid state amp and then I asked the salesman to play the same piece with the McIntosh Mc 2102 tube amp. I was so shocked that i accused him of changing speakers when he plugged in the other amp. My God, the differance was so great that i had to go back with him behind the wall and watch him re-connect the cables to prove it was the same speakers. this proved the amp can make a huge differance. I have started with the amp...yes i bought the 2102 and I now own a really high-end Cd player. I shall soon be doing an addition to my house to hold it all and only then will I be changing speakers.

i all the others are indeed correct...I have lots to look forward to!

Cute Marco---and highly eloquent. Still, I don't know if you bringing psychology, literature, your aim,steam vents is even a greater departure from this thread or some kind of oblong mirror held at all of us, reflecting our own digressions.

Speaking of threads, perhaps another thread can be started relevent to how people treat threads......

Now, back to the discussion!

This might have started as a good thread....but w'all done wove it into a tapestry. I think I am going back to Audiogon, although at least here my wife can't come at me for spending time in internet "chat" rooms.

See y'all elsewhere.

ps. 'bye, Marco!
