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.

fleschler,
"I am surprised that you have authoritatively stated..."

Huh, are you that new here? You'd better get used to lots of authorities in these waters.

You should try an IC or A/C cable from Grover Huffman. Let us know how it sounds in your system. It certainly sounded great at many show booths when we removed many high end (costly) cables.  The problem he has selling to high enders, especially in Asia, is that they confer value upon cost.  Some asked him his price and refused to try his cables because they were too "cheap."

I agree that many post that they are authorities.  I am not an authority except in matters of real estate.  Everything else I have knowledge of is based on experience and knowledge others have dispensed (a lot of reading, several hours daily for 4 decades and lectures).

Infantile! That is the word we have been looking for. Infantile.
