Agree with Tholt. Modern electronics and digital technology has resulted in there being less differences between source/preamp/amp (once you reach a decent level like a Cambridge CD player) than with room and speakers.
Choice of speakers and the room can make night and day differences...one cd player versus another is often a matter of degree in quality and clarity or "flavor".
