2 channel system?

in a 2 channel system (cd player or integrated amps) which component affects the sound the more? im looking to upgrade gradually and im wondering which component will have a more direct impact on the sound? i understand that matching of components is very important and all parts play an important role in the overall sound? but in your opinion which one affects it more? thanks in advance.

I agree with amplification first, and if separates, the preamp before the power amp. What good is a great source sent through inferior amplification.

I also agree with the cable comments. Most people put a cheap cable on a lower cost source. You'd be surprised how good a lower cost source will sound connected with better cables.
