What is most important part of a system?

I remember reading someone saying that the most important part of a system was the source. I thought "Wrong! Speakers are the most important".
 
Now, I have changed my mind. Source is the most important part.

Right or wrong but this is how I came to this conclusion;

I have tried the same system with a CD player and a turntable. By far LP sounds better than a CD. Btw, the system had all high-end amps, speakers, cables, etc.

What is most important part of a system for you?

One thing for sure.I sold audio for years. By far the most distortion is your loudspeakers. Even 1-2% is far more than any other piece of equipmrnt.That is where probably more money should be spent to get the highest quality.  Your sourse for sure is the most critical for precision 
Of the event.  Everything starts from the sourse and detail once lost 
Cannot be made up else where that is why  you should get the best turntable 
Including Arm  and cartridge and sound Different this includes Digital .Makes sure it's sonic signature is a good fit before pulling the trigger.
