I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank....

There are some amazingly good cables available on Amazon for a fraction of the advertised brands.  Like 10% of their cost. Next rung up I'd have to go with Pangaea. I got a a set of their TT cables and am very pleased for under $100.  Beyond that, your wallet is the limit.

Check out Kimber Kable. They have silver which has the lowest resistance. You don't need silver for the subs, but I REALLY like silver over copper for everything else. Amp, preamp, DAC, phono and not that much $$.

What I’d do is get myself some decent looking but not too much costing cables from no matter what brand or store. There are many myths about audio cables and most of it is marketing babble to lure your into paying top dollar for ’left rotating silver atoms’ that in the end are just metal strands worth only a couple.

Of course if it makes you feel good when you pay a lot for some nice looking audio equipment then that can be worth the investment, but only for that reason, that it feels nice, while probably it doesn’t really sound better. With a blind A/B test most people won’t be able to hear a difference. You only hear a difference because you just shelled out $500 or more for some esoteric interconnects and now your brain tells you you want/need to hear a difference.

Any cable from the various UK manufacturers such as Chord, Atlas, ecosse, QED....these brands are seldom mentioned. They all make excellent lower budget line cables.
