Where to use a pair of interconnects?


I have an interesting question that will cause some discussion I'm sure. If you have only one great pair of interconnects and the rest being average where would you put them in your system? Amp to preamp or cd player to preamp?

It depends on many different factors.

You just have to try it in different places, compare, and decide.

Currently my most expensive IC (Harmonic Technologies Truth Link)is between my DAC and Pre-amp because that is where it lends itself best with my current set-up. In the past, it has been used elsewhere.
You tell us - source/pre, pre/amp. Which sounds best? Can you even discern a difference?
One thing concrete to consider if you have multiple sources, ie CD and phono and maybe others, and your different ICs sound different to you, is the IC used between pre-amp and amp will affect the sound of all sources whereas if used between a source and pre-amp, it will only affect that source.
