Where to put the better cable.

Here's the scenario: CD > Preamp > Amp - that's two pairs of interconnects required. One pair is much better quality than the other, so where should the better quality cables go? CD > Preamp or Preamp > Amp ? I'm talking in general here. Of course the best thing to do would be to try it both ways and listen, but there must be a rule of thumb about this.

You will end up with them where they sound the best, but if the question were asked, and the results could never be altered I would agree with Elizabeth.

Always get the most signal off of your source. No great piece of gear will add what wasn't obtained from the CD in the first place.

My mode of upgrading is always to start at the source and move back to the speakers.
