Appropriate RCA cable to go from pre-out to amp?

I'm in the same boat--about to replace my integrated amp's jumpers with an IC. I was just reading a thread on another forum in which several people opined that the pre-to-amp connection is the most important and most sensitive. Which is it? and why?

There's no possible way to really answer your questions. There's just too many variables to consider. Your equipment, personal tastes and budget all play a factor. No matter what anyone says, you just need to figure these things out for yourself. If you are just starting out, I would recommend getting some decent entry level copper cables from a company like Audioquest, Kimber, Cardas etc.. Something well designed but not too expensive. You need cables, no matter what, just to connect your components, so you have to get something. From there, you have a baseline to judge other cables that you may want to try later on. Maybe you will upgrade, maybe you won't. That will be up to you. I say, just use your head and make your own decisions. If you listen to other people and make mistakes, you'll be P**** Off.

@ Zd542,I could have not put the opinion you posted 3-5-13 no better myself!awsome!

Everyone has differing opinions. that the pre to amp connection is the main one, in use all the time is true. For someone starting out all it needs is a pair of intercionnects.
If you have state of the art equipment, then Hell yeah the pre to amp IC is really important.
Big difference.
Worry about it when you have a pre and an amp worth as much as your new car...
MY amp, pre and speakers are pretty close to my new car cost.. So I use a pair of Kimber Hero in that pre to amp connection.

Thanks folks. I ended up buying the necessary cables from blue jeans audio as well as some to replace my lfe runs to my subs. Now I have identicall cables for all pre to amp signals. Price was very reasonable and being able to get the exact length required was nice as well.

Thx.
