best interconnect at decent price

Want to get some input on interconnects from everyone.   I have the following components and want to get the best connections between them all:

RAM Labs RM-200 Amp
ARC REF 5 Amp
ARC PH 5 Phone Stage
Rega P3 Turntable with Dynavector high output moving coil cartridge
Vandersteen A3 Signature speakers

I just ordered some speaker wires from AntiCable for the Vandersteens.  I have some cheap interconnects that will connect the components for a while, but I would like to get input on the make and model of interconnects and cabling that are a good long term solution without spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars.  Let me know if you have any suggestions...thanks

Worth checking out is Transparent's the link RCA, entry level IC but I love how it made my system sound. I was happily using anticables as my speaker cable but also switched to transparent the wave speaker cable after auditioning it. For some reason it had better synergy with the rest of my system.

I bought Analysis Plus micro oval interconnects on Audiogon Used for around $100. Cannot beat with a stick.

I have heard very very expensive systems with reference grade cable and sure it's better than what I have but I use Oyaide rca and balanced cables or make cables up from Amphenol ends and Canare cable in quad core or rca based cable. Even the ok $20  Concorde cable from Jaycar is ok. Spend the money on a system on the Speakers first then the amp and a source. Decent cd or multiplayers can be had for $1000. Everyone needs to make a living but some of these hyper cables are marketing first then profit. I wont mention the companies unless they are doing something of quality for a fair price.
