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

If you like a very neutral presentation then I second Crimson Cables. I also thought that Analysis Plus offered some great bang for your buck cables.

Audio Art cable out of San Diego, which  sells on here, has the least expensive cable available which just plain very good  leaving money out of it,  which makes it the best buy in audio ,

I guess it comes down to what is considered a "decent price".  Some of these mfr. recommendations seem to be on the high side of "decent"  (Darwin for instance).  I'm certainly interested in Grannyring's cables due to the fact that if I like the cable I can afford to switch-out all the cables in my system.

Better still if you can solder and make your own, either way you can't go wrong with the Duelund ICS. I have $800 plus ICs, and Duelund ICs embarrasses them. It's my go to for chassis audio wiring as well.

I've bought several sets of Stager silver cables over the past four years.. They replaced some much more expensive Audioquests and they are exceptionally clear and transparent. Great value, I highly recommend them. Look for Stager Silver Solids.
