what will make the greatest differance in sound.

I can only replace one item at this time. My system consists of Martin Logan Prodigy speakers, ML 336, Monster 2.4 speaker cables, Magnum Dynalab Tuner, Monster interconnects, arc LS1 preamp, California Audio Labs icon/mkii cd player. Feed-back from an earlier forum suggested I replace the preamp, cables and cd player. But which one first? I am considering a ML preamp 380s at some point, would like to know if this will improve the currant configuration and sound?

I would suggest:
1) cables first
2) pre second - if you liked tubes, you should probably give serious thought to a good tube pre and/or the Audio Aero Cd player
3) source last - Levinson 390s is quite good, but I personally do not like the 390-380-336 combo - I find it quite fatiguing - so I would break it up either at source or pre... I have found Levinson dealers are usually great about home demos, so (if possible) you should consider a home audition of the full set... and see if you don't feel tired relatively quickly too...

Good luck,
Jacob
