The 'weak link' is the one item holding back the rest of a system.
Changing anything else in that system will result in not hearing a difference, or it just not sounding as good IMO.
Only changing that worst item will result is a possible 'AHA!" moment.
So generally all the stuff has to be good to hear a change in a part. If something is less, the you can be just wandering in the dark forever, unless you hit the magic worst bit and change that one holding the rest back.
I just try to buy good stuff and hope it works. I upgrade, but do not do so endlessly....
