Here's mine, in order from most important to least:
Speaker
Room interaction with the speaker
Power amplifier(s)

Well, maybe. Depends on speaker demands.

Stand
Speaker cable

Speaker cable this high in ranking. Why?

Good question. The preamp or optical player would seem to be a better bet.

CD/DVD player
Preamplifier

Preamps next to interconnects you must
be kidding. I'd put them before power amps.

Agreed. Generally inconsequential, but...

Audio interconnects
Power cords/power conditioners

Not so with power conditioners. Oh, I forgot,
you don't have any experience with them.

Getting experience with power conditioners is something like failing an IQ
test. I admit it, I have one but it was a gift.

Isn't there one in every component? :-)
Aren't they called bridge rectifiers?

More like the power transformer.

I stand corrected. Been a very long time since I had occaison to study that.
IIRC the BR smoothes out the ripple from AC, no?

The reservoir caps do that ( smooth the ripple from the rectified AC ).
