I have no idea but have the following step-by-step approach to the answer.
Step 1 (easy): Insert the Cardas between the amp and the pre-amp.
Step 2 (easy): Insert the Analysis Plus between the CD and the pre-amp.
Step 3 (important): Listen to some music you love and enjoy and know well and remember how it sounds
Step 4 (easy): Switch the Cardas to between the CD and the pre-amp and the Analysis Plus to between the amp and the pre-amp
Step 5 (important): Listen to that same music as in Step 3 again - and if need be - again
Step 6 (THE KEY): Figure out which cable set up you like the most and set it up that way. And do your best to stay with that setup
The last part of Step 6 is the hardest. You may well find yourself on the path to cable craziness trying various cables one after the other. But hey, you may find that you don't hear any difference between the sound in Step 3 and in Step 5 and you've saved yourself a hell of a headache!
Enjoy.
