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.

No, I can’t help.  But I did already help the OP with the wire he should use.

grannyring, just to close the loop, there are no gaps in the science of the age of the Earth, the Earth’s formation or the Big Bang. We know exactly how big the Universe is and it’s rare of expansion. We also know there’s a big monster black hole snack dab in the center of our galaxy.

I disagree with @geoffkait. Quantum dots are full of gaps.

To paraphrase Gordon:

“The point is, ladies and gentleman, that gaps -- for lack of a better word -- are good.

“Gaps are right.

“Gaps work.

“Gaps clarify, cut through, and capture the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

“Gaps, in all forms -- gaps for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- have marked the upward surge of mankind.

“And gaps -- you mark my words -- will not only save this thread, but that other malfunctioning site called Audiogon.”
