Best cable placement

Looking for the best placement of my IC cable. I have a Transparent Audio Ultra MM IC cable and a Transparent Audio Ultra MM2 IC cable.  I am connecting Mark Levinson No 30.6 Processor to my Mark Levinson No 32 Pre  Amp.  I also want to connect from my Pre Amp to my Mark Levinson No 336 Amp.  Where should I put my MM2 cable (the better cable) from the source to the Pre Amp or from the Pre Amp to the Amp? 

My speakers are 801D4 and speaker cables are Transparent Audio Ultra Gen5 bi-wire.

I think the logic is what is lost up front is lost forever and that the signal tends to be stronger downstream so is less prone to loss.

+1 I’d use this as a starting point. I would leave it in my system that way for a couple weeks at least. Until you know the sound completely… two months is good as well. Then switch them. To me this kind of comparison is the way to hear subtle differences.
