Hmm.. To simplify, perhaps grossly, and to generalize, I would say power amp and turntable itself, not arm or cartridge, or cd transport. Stable current from the wall is very important too, of course.
But still if I were to choose one component, I would say turntable in purely analog system and power amp in purely digital. To put aside horn speakers for the moment.
