The better the cord the better the results!
Try DH Labs - they are very good and reasonable prices and you can even build them yourself to save some money
A very good RCA at a reasonable price is the Furutech FP-126 - about $12 each

If you want a more rugged cable I have had great success with the Van Den Hul D102 III - tripple screened with balanced conductors - yes you can use it with RCA jacks
If you go the balanced conductor route you should connect them with a "floating Screen"
That is...
- the two internal wires are connected, one to the centre pin and the other to the outer shell of the RCA connector
- the screen is only connected to the outer shell of the RCA at one end of the lead
- The end of the lead that the screen is attached to always plugs into the source component - in this case your pre-amp
Theory is the screen will drain any RF away from the signal destination
If you need more info email me I can send diagrams
