Items that give the least improvement

Recording quality > Speakers > Pre-Amp > Power Amp (spec to drive speakers) > Digital Source > Support Systems > Speaker cables & other cables

Spot on imo . *good*

So why would you think support system is more important than speaker cable, if I may ask?

I found that my new cyrus remote control didn't improve sound all that much.

Disappointed.

Have you ever spent money on an item and realised afterwards that your hard earned cash may have been used much better?

Never. Because I'm not a fool. If I buy something. I know why I buy it. I follow the rule "I'm too poor to buy junk".

It is one of those "it depends" questions. It depends on the system in question in the first place.

Speakers generally give the most immediately noticeable difference to the average ear, but take the speaker too far and the amplifier won't be getting the best out of them. For me, source still reigns, regardless of whether it is analogue or digital - naff in, naff out. A high quality speaker can only accurately reproduce the naff signal it receives.

The cheaper or newer it is the more your hoping it will elavate the bang to buck ratio. Like Chinese Dacs, I bought a Dac AH for £90 and was dissapointed. It's what made me want to more expensive hifi. Just waiting for mega hifi one day.*mail1*
