Interconnects - better before preamp or after preamp?

If you have a World class preamp, is there a need to go nuts buying some really nice cables before the Signal reaches the preamp?.  Let the preamp do its thing and then provide Royal treatment for Signal‘s Journey to the amplifier.

If you had to choose between before or after a preamp what would you do?

“upstream” should read “downstream” 🤔

What type of cables do you use?

Use quality cables period. Now that doesn't take a second mortgage on your home. There are many quality cable  builders that are affordable and sell direct.

If the pre out is truly balanced (to a balanced amp) the cable matters far less than from the source.
