Man this is frustrating

I'm needing interconnects x 2 pair between TT and phono pre and from pre to amplifier. I'm decidedly mid-fi with a budget of under $500 for the 2 pair. VPI Traveler (found new on the cheap as the dealer is getting out of the 2-channel business), Mobile Fidelity Studio Phono, Rega Brio, Dynaudio Excite X18s. 

Looked initially at Blue Jean Cables and then read some not so good reviews. I'd love some solid suggestions and experiences.

Thanks

Garebear.....in MY system, Cardas cables sound indistinct, tubby, fuzzy, etc.  I tried many versions...some are better than others, but I always can tell the Cardas sound in MY system.  They may work well in others', but not in mine.   I contacted Colleen Cardas who told me they had to break in....months later, they sounded as I describe.  I was always perplexed since I have an all Ayre system, and Ayre recommends Cardas.....oh well.

...for experimenters.....ClearDay Cables will send out their cable for evaluation with no money exchanges.  The cable is excellent on many systems - the owner is very nice.  Recommended.

Duder, buy used
Two $250. Interconnects  will never be better then a two used $250. Should be   getting almost $700 value.    If blue jeans
Interconnects sound that good there price would match there sound.   It gos for all. Except $2000.
 And up. IMO

Don't waste your money on expensive cables. Get yourself some cables from Analysis Plus and don't look back. I've tried many cables over the years (some quite expensive) and nothing sounds better to my ears, in my system, than Analysis Plus. I use them across the board,  IC's, speakers etc. Average pricing $80.00 to $120.00
