Component Pecking Order

In recent discussions with audiophile friends, the topic of "component pecking order" has surfaced. Meaning: if you were forced to part with one of your components, which one would be the first to go? (You cannot replace it with the same item).
Mine goes something like this (Most valuable first):
1.Lector CDP-7T($3200). Remarkable piece. Simply not replaceable anywhere near this price point. Extremely difficult to obtain at this time.
2.VSA VR-4JR($3995). These speakers deliver the characteristics I wanted in a speaker; outstanding bass, and "holographic" imaging and clarity between the speakers.
I have not heard the Hyperions...
3.BAT VK-300Xse Integrated Amp ($5500). This component fits extremely well in my mix. The bass management is outstanding, and with good recordings, you can approach SET warmth. As a former 300B owner, I found the trade-off to be worth the loss of "warmth", for better dynamics and bass management. This would be my least valuable piece, simply because there are so many options out there in amplification for $6K, that I would have to believe the piece could be equalled or bettered.

I'm hoping my components have a long and happy marriage...
(3 audiophile years is close to an eternity!)
