The lowest of the two impedances the cable see, is normally the source impedance, say 1kOhm for MM, down to 2 Ohm for MC.The source impedance load down the cable's generator, which is a high impedance generator.
Microphones often have 600 Ohm source impedance and low levels, making this cable microphonic effect audible.
Preamps and CD players have from a few Ohms to 2kOhm source impedance, but much higher levels, and thus relative less audible effect of microphonic cables.
