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.

A thread on cables going down a rabbit hole? Gosh, really? How can that be? Am I hallucinating?

I guess, with this thread, we’ve reached the bottom, and we have to stop, and that is what's bothering us.

I'm putting a plug in for GroverHuffman cables which are extremely reasonably priced based on the manual labor cost of construction and immense complexity of their design (superior shielding, superior design, low capacitance, top comparable sound quality).  We are talking $400/m more or less for ICs and A/C cables and $600-$1000 for speaker cables.  He should charge more but he sells direct, 30 day money back guarantee, world wide distribution and 20 years in the business.  I'm one of this beta tester's on design/materials and have auditioned many top name brands Nordost, Audioquest, Transparent, High Fidelity, Wireworld, Kimber, etc. against his wires at home and at audio shows.
