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.

Everyone makes good points. Yes, ultimately it comes down to what sounds better to my ear. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks everyone!

For those curious about the details:
Simaudio Moon Nova
Harmonic Technology Magic Link RCA
Simaudio Moon P5
Harmonic Technology ProSilway II RCA
Simaudio Moon w6

And, yes, I know, I would be better served using XLR. Will do that when the budget allows.
