Help with cable choice please?

MY preamp has a 850ohm output impedance and my amp has a 100ohm input impedance. My CD player is a Marantz SA-11S1 ( I could not find what the output impedance was on this one (anyone know?) What impedance interconnect cables would be best for this setup? I really am having a hard time grasping this even though I searched and read allot about it.

I think your amp's input impedance should be much higher than 100ohms. 10K-100K ohms sounds about right.

The resistance of an interconnect cable does not impact much, if anything at all.

Sorry, I have never used MIT cables. It seems that you don't have impedance problems if your amp's input impedance is 100K ohms.
