What cable first

I currently have a B&K pre and B&K 200.2 amp with factory power cords. I also have an SVS powered sub with factory power cord. I'm considering upgrading in the power cords to something in the $100-$200 range per each peice, although one at a time. Which would make the biggest impact, if any? Also looking at ic's in the same range. I need to go from my Marantz cd player to my pre-amp. Maybe a power conditioner first would be better, and should my amp, sub and other components be on different outlets? If so, would I need multiple power conditioners? Any and all responses are appreciated, including witty sarcasm.

CD player or preamp first, then amp.
Have an idea of what type of sound you're looking for, even reasonable price cords can sound different from each other. The wrong cord will sound worse than stock cord.
When high-end companies started selling cords in the 90's, I thought it was a crazy idea, not until years later when I heard a cord sound good on a cd player, I was amazed.
