What was your biggest priority?

There has been a lot of discussion in some of the other threads about where the focus or emphasis should be when spending money on your system. When you look at your system (other than the room in which it resides) where did you actually spend the most money? Did the majority of your hard earned money go into speakers, amp/amps, pre-amp, digital, or turntable/arm/cartridge??? Or was it somewhere else?

Speaker/room is the highest priority. Then source, followed by pre/amp required to achieve proper SPLs musically.

Cool, Red. I just did a REAL budget intro system for a friend: NAD C541i ($400), Spendor 3/1p ($800 used), Audio Refinement Complete ($800 used), same tuner ($500 used), a Neuance ($100) and a combo of my 83802-based PCKits ($100),
PowerBox ($55), a Blue Heaven RCA on the CDP ($125 used), and Canare StarQuad on the tuner and speaker cables ($50).
Plateau or Sanus stands ($200). Great system for under $2500, and half the fun is finding the stuff used...the other half watching his jaw drop as tears form. His wife is jealous!
