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.

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!

Actually we do have examples of faith based notions that are presented to us as science. The “science”of the earth’s age, earth’s formation and creation, Big Bang etc... all have major gaps that require “faith”.

Whoa! What? What major gaps in science are you referring to? I don’t like gaps. Gaps and Geoff clash. Whatcha got, grannyring? Anything?

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.

Well gaps and speculations. There’s a whole lotta faith going on in what we term science today. No way around it as it is a natural outcome of our imperfect and incomplete human condition and wisdom. A clear thinker such as yourself must understand this to be the case in some instances?
