For a cheap and in my eyes (ears) very competent interconnect I recommend the van den Hul D102 MkIII.
I've owned one for years and always compared it to all much more expensive ic's when my cable experiment grew out of hand and never found a cable that really trounced it.
At least not in all areas and overall presentation.
It is an all round pleasing cable that in no case sounded bright, yet revealed pleasingly and had nice extension on the bottom.
It sacrifices maybe a tiny bit of definition for smoothness which serves music well in a lot of cases.
But this is only noticeable when you compare it with cables that excel in that point and are in many cases more or even a lot more expensive.
Somewhat above this price range of the brands mentioned above I had Audioquest Jaguar and Acoustic Zen Matrix II at one time, neither bettered the van den Hul in my system at the time in overall performance, the Audioquest was if I remember correctly a little more transparent than the other two but less natural in the highs than the vd Hul.
