If I can afford one good cable, which component?

I'm vinyl only so it's either my LDR preamp or my Rogue Atlas amplifier. Phono stage is battery powered...

Not on the source, not on the power amp. And the rest of the cables, yeah, follow the signal. However, as Elizabeth said, it might be different in different set-ups even if only to a certain degree. Current from the wall and regenerators/conditioners is another subject.
