I've just been re-reading all my Audio Perfectionist Journals and the author, Richard Hardesty, had this comment on system building: [paraphrasing] "You must have great loudspeakers to hear differences between power amps, great amps to hear differences between preamps and processors, and great preamps to hear differences between sources, great sources let you hear the differences between recordings."

He was almost making sense until that last part. Even a decent mid-fi system like mine can show the differences between recordings!

What breaks your system chain? What's your weakest link? What would you love to replace that could free the rest of your components?[/

Seeing as I haven’t bought any new gear in eight years, except a BFD, I’d say pretty much everything in my system is a weak link! But more specifically, I’d say my throw-down DIY subs.
