Will a high quality preamp really make a difference in sound?? Also speaker cable

Will a quality preamp make my system sound better?  And speaker cable...seems like everything I read people are split on this subject. My local hifi store brought up a good point; they said that the only thing between your amp and your speakers are the cable. Very good point and I'm inclined to believe it. Don't want to spend a fortune but don't want cheap cable either. Thoughts/ recommendations? Thank you in advance.

 A good pre-amp should make no difference to the sound. If your power amp has a volume control, you can plug your source device directly into your power amp, so bypassing your pre-amp, (make sure your amp volume is turned all the way down).

 If it sounds better - ditch your pre-amp.
