Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money

I currently have a system which consists of Vandersteen 5A's, THor Audio TP-150 tubed monoblocks, Thor Line Stage and Thor phono stage, Marantz SACD player SA-114 and will take delivery of the VPI Prime Scout with a Sumiko EVOS 3 Cartridge. I am currently using LAT International Speaker Cables, Power Cords and Interconnects. (They are no longer in business). I am in immediate  need of turntable cables and would like to update my new speaker cables and interconnects. Not willing to spend thousands on this upgrade. Seeking to capture as much of the "magic" that the super expensive cables deliver but at a more realistic price point. I understand that I have really good quality equipment, but at this stage of my life cannot allocate mega dollars towards cables.
 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

grannyring" The “science”of the earth’s age, earth’s formation and creation, Big Bang etc... all have major gaps that require “faith”

It is probably safe to assume that within this group quite a many of us understand the conflict that exists for you from peer-reviewed science based research, measurements, and mathmatics and the fairy-tales that exist in your Big Book of Truth.

schubert"Audio Art is the most value for money on the market .If your listening is primarily rock, Anticable will do fine"

That is amazing how would any cable designed and intended for use in Music Reproduction Systems possibly distinguish on its own the genre, style or orchestration of the music signal that it is transmitting at any single point in time?

schubert"Classical is FAR more demanding of a recording than rock’

That is a wholly mistaken, misinformed, and elitist pronouncement completely lacking in any evidence, substantiation, or reference it is a broad, sweeping, and unsupported generalization based on a completely confused, sociocentric belief and conviction rather than actual observation, data or research. It is actually a faith-based claim.

tobor007"I use high end fake Kimber. They look great and I can BS my friends into hearing the difference 2k speaker cables can make. Here’s my dilemma, I can buy these cables at $75 a pop. I think I could sell them (only locally) to people I know for about $400"

Why would you lie, cheat, and defraud you’re friends you are obviously disturbed on some human level you must be lonely and people who can hear the difference are not going to be fooled by your escapades.

elizabeth"Science is not faith based. It is the opposite of faith based."

Elizabeth of course you are completely correct however you must understand that those who insist and cling to faith-based beliefs and  convictions must as a means of supporting their beliefs equate them with those which have been established through the scientific method because if they did not do this they would not be able to repeat, defend, and promote their beliefs they must achieve an "equality" between their faith and science or otherwise their faith based beliefs are revealed as the fantasy, fabrications and woo that they are!

schubert"I have been to over 2, 000 live classical concerts in the last 50+ years .I DO know what I say is so .You do not .'

This statement is based on blind conviction, faith, and belief you can not possibly know anything about me at all because I have protected my right to anonymity hear so you can insist that you're knowledge, experience, and pronouncements  here are superior to that of others but the truth is you have no data, substantiation, or even casual observation to support your cherished beliefs at all but you are welcome to feel as smug and self-righteous as you like especially as you make Christian-based observations about the behavior of others here which you know nothing about.
