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?

As said previously, YOU, are the most important link in the chain.

My personal thoughts are; Sh*t in = Sh*t out. If the source is poor, anything downstream is just reproducing, and perhaps trying to compensate. I totally agree with @jmcgrogan2 on the medium being the absolute beginning of the chain. Whatever our choice on playback of the LP/CD/ etc. is, it's the starting point of what will follow quality wise down stream. Just my opinion, for what its worth.
