Help with cable choice please?

MY preamp has a 850ohm output impedance and my amp has a 100ohm input impedance. My CD player is a Marantz SA-11S1 ( I could not find what the output impedance was on this one (anyone know?) What impedance interconnect cables would be best for this setup? I really am having a hard time grasping this even though I searched and read allot about it.

Don't sweat it. Any good quality interconnect will do the job.

You are making this too complicated. In rare cases there can be major impedemce mismatches between amps and preamps but normally it is not an issue. It is even less of an issue with source components connected to a preamp. In thirty years I've never had a problem caused by an interconnect's impedence.
