Heart, brain, central nervous system, circulatory system, etc. Oh, wait! I guess they're ALL critical!
There is a similar futility of such rankings when applied to audio components. I have built too many systems to still hold the philosophy that such and such component is inherently/universally most important in a system.
I have heard cable sets which have perceptually been more impactful than some amp changes, sources which have been more impactful than preamps or DACs, etc. How do you suggest one ranks the plethora of variables associated with componentry?
