Which has greatest influence?

I have recently upgraded my amp but got to wondering which really has the greatest affect on the quality of sound --the preamp or the amp? Or is there a difinitive answer to that question" I have heard it said that your s ystem is only as good as youre weakest componet. Is this always true?

No, there is no definitive answer. The amp/speaker pairing is paramount. amp/pre impedance matching is usually not an isuue, but when it's bad, it stinks. Trying different combos is the only way to know what has greatest impact in YOUR SYSTEM. Cheers,
