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.

Obviously the high end cables we’re talking about here are not intended for audio video applications or even for run of the mill audiophile systems or other relatively mundane enterprises. They are intended for highly tuned and refined high end systems capable of appreciating them. It’s like putting $2,000 wheels on a Schwinn from Target. Give me a break! Try putting them on a $6K bike or a $12K bike.
How does a cable get outdated🙄, If it conducted well 30 years ago doesn’t it conduct well now?Sounds like fashion to me, have to keep up with the stylish trends…
anyone who would spend $2k on a set of bikes wheels is crazy, same goes for the audio bling cable (speaker, interconnect, & power) pricing referenced on this forum.  suggesting that these expensive cables actually make a difference to ANY system is simply not true and bad for this hobby we all enjoy. 
For almost all cables I would agree, except MIT.  They have seriously improved signal transmission technology in their recent offerings.  Most cables have slight variances in performance, but anytime I have used MIT cables, everything just sounded so much more realistic!
Everyone has their own opinion about cables but we can all agree that the OP is requesting a unicorn 

with that said I believe cables  sound different  but  I don’t advocate spending a fortune on cables.  I have tried many.  I would suggest trying some offerings that have a return policy 

and I strongly suggest you try something less pricey first. I can personally recommend signal cable for thier musicality and audio art for the all around quality and sound.   Used is a perfect option as well 

Those are just two off the top of my head....
