what will make the greatest differance in sound.


I can only replace one item at this time. My system consists of Martin Logan Prodigy speakers, ML 336, Monster 2.4 speaker cables, Magnum Dynalab Tuner, Monster interconnects, arc LS1 preamp, California Audio Labs icon/mkii cd player. Feed-back from an earlier forum suggested I replace the preamp, cables and cd player. But which one first? I am considering a ML preamp 380s at some point, would like to know if this will improve the currant configuration and sound?

What a great response. It shows what a fine and and helpful group contributes to audiogon. You feed back and honest opinions are greatly appreciated.
I realize that the preamp and cd player are ventage. I am interested in reaching the potential limits of the prodigy speakers in accurancy (vocals)separation of instruments and pleasing smooth sound with great depth and three dimensional soundstage. The base response could use a little improvement. I am not a base inthusist but enjoy pop, vocals, instrumentals and the 70's & 80's music soft rock I grew up with. I am not someone who has auditioned many conponents nor will. I am looking to invest in one conponent upgrade to move in the direction of these these sound attributes. I am not a trained audiophil owner. I just like music. Opinions are all i have to base these decisions on and appreciate the opportunity through this forum. Thank you all.
