In Reply to: Rank components in order of sonic impact in YOUR audio setup posted by AbeCollins on August 4, 2012 at 15:59:07:
1. Speakers (Thiel 7.2s)
2. Amps (Manley NeoClassic 250s)
3. Room treatments (Tube Traps, etc.) and speaker placement
4. Speaker and Interconnect cables (MIT Oracle V3)
5. CD player (Wadia 850)
6. Power cords
7. Vibration control
8. AC power filteringI use no preamp since the DAC has a digital volume control.
I put the speakers in since they are the most important and determine the final sound.
Everything else builds on their capabilities.
Nos. 1., 2. and 4. seem to act synergistically.
As far as computer audio, I store iTunes on my computer all ripped from CDs in Lossless to play on my iPod. That's about it.
