Interconnect cables for turntable

Last nights listening session was interrupted when one speaker went silent! The culprit was the wire had loosened from the RCA connector on that side of the table to phono preamp - not the first time this has happened. I have a mish-mash of interconnects - Cord, Monster, Blue Jeans, now I'm thinking I should  replace the interconnects between the turntable and phono preamp, and also between the phone pre and the preamp. 

My system: VPI Classic 3, Zesto Andros 1.2, ARC LS27

I'm not interested in spending multiple thousands of dollars, maybe a few hundred to a thousand or so. Anti Cables seem to be reasonably priced. What other brands should I consider?

Have you considered fixing the culprit cable?

It sounds as though you have your mind set towards something new?

Based upon your (posted) system, you should be using a higher quality IC.

Afraid to go further until we know more.

Cheers!

I could try fixing the offending cables, maybe later today, busy right now preparing my house and yard ready for winter.

My cartridge is an Ortofon Cadenza Black, MC.

Ok so your IC is not holding tightly enough and falls off on its own?  My guess is some decent cables will net a big improvement.

If your VPI arm is wired with the Discovery wire get you a set of VPI phono cables which is Discovery wiring also, I have settled on this after trying a lot of others of all prices and don't need to look any more.

More to discover
