order of improving sound quality in system?


Hello I wanted to hear from people on what there opinion is on the order of system components including cables on what makes the biggest difference in sound, myself I would start with speakers, amp, preamp, cd player and cables, just wondering for future knowledge on things to make the biggest difference when upgrading, thanks.

I think there is no "right" answer to your question. Speaker selection is Very important, but so is the preamp, poweramp, and particularly the source. Ultimately, it is the synergy between components and cables in the system, and the weakest link that will give it away. If your system had good but revealing speakers like, for example, B&W N-805, it would not sound good with a poor digital source, and you would be much better of with speakers offering less details and resolution. On the other hand, an excellent source, is more likely to provide a more positive overall effect in your system regardless of other system components. So in regard to your question, you really need to be more specific as to what the current components are...
Good luck.
