Interconnect

You have to listen to each in your system.   ....listen to audioquest too

I like DH Labs Pro Studio.

Currently use homebrew solid silver; not much difference if at all.  Pro Studio maybe has a slightly boomier low end.

A PC Triple C Wire Interconnect will be quite impressive at presenting a neutral sonic. The perception during comparisons to other wires used in a Cable, is that the PC Triple C cleans the sonic, in some cases in a comparison, purifies the sonic would be good description.

If one was more adventurous and wanted to exploit this further, using Low Eddy RCA's on both Cable and Amp's will be a experience worth encountering.

Even is a EE is used to exchange the RCA's, the cost for Parts and Labour to carry out a very valuable upgrade on the signal path, can still be quite cheaper than buying into certain cable types. 

Well you didn't exactly define 'less expensive'.  I have K=S Realization in my home, but for my occasional weekend cottage I found these Arcadia interconnects from Zafvino an excellent value.  I like all copper.  Great build quality.

I do think the guideline for a budget using the Cables referenced, is for recommendations not much over, or maybe shy off $200
