Weakest link


How do you determine the weakest link in your set-up without any other equipment on hand?
Let's assume that the system already sounds pretty good and is balanced enough, no junk anywhere in the chain. Fun, isn't it?

This is a like cosmetic surgery.  A little "work" might be quite complimentary, but we've all seen people who took it too far.  Is your system one of those systems where you did too much work and took it too far?  Over time any system can be improved, but when normal people see your system are they in awe and happy for you or do they go WTF and feel pity?
Once you isolate a system's weakest link and then take corrective measures, then by definition some other component is now the weakest link.  Do you repeat the process over and over?  I take it on faith that any system can always be improved, but so what?  There should come a point where an audiophile should kick back and stop thinking about the equipment and the setup.  Well, at least for a month or two.
