Weakest link?

Hi All- I ask this knowing full well it's an opinion-based question. but... I current have an
- Oppo 105 with Audioquest Makenzie Balanced into
- Marantz 8802a with Audioquest Makenzie balanced out to
- Lexicon RX-7 with Audioquest Slip 14/4 to- Revel Ultima Salon 2
My question here is, If I upgraded the cable between the Oppo and Marantz to say Audioquest Earth, is that upgrade going to impact much since I'm not changing anything after it in the chain?  Weakest link theory and all that....curious what other's have experienced through piecemeal upgrades.

My approach would be to upgrade your wall outlets to an audio grade outlet, put audio grade fuses in your components, treat your connections with Perfect Path Technologies Total Contact , and buy at least one Perfect Path Technologies Omega E Mat.

You have excellent equipment but the above suggestions will allow your equipment to operate at maximum potential.

The Omega E Mat thread at the miscellaneous forum right here at Audiogon is very helpful.
