Interconnects for Conrad Johnson amp/pre?

I need to upgrade my interconnects, and then my speaker cables. Or, vice versa.
System:

Conrad Johnson PV11
Conrad Johnson 2300
Rega Planet
PSB Golds

Currently using Kimber Kable PBJ interconnects and bi-wired VS speaker cables.

I'm on a limited budget so will purchase used cables. Perhaps $150 for each 0.5m interconnect and approx. $300 on (max) 2m speaker cables.

What is advised and why?

I have the PV14 and a Premier 11A. I had a 2300A and it was a sweet amp.

I had good results with MIT 330 Shotgun. Currently I'm using Z-Squared AUAU toplines and cryo'd Pulsars. You might try either of those. They are in your price range. Lot's of detail in both and they seem to mate very well with the CJ gear in my system. Both present better seperation between instruments and wider stage than I recall getting from the MIT, but I should go back and compare again now that I have grown accustomed to these.

I have yet to start trying new speaker cables so I can't help you there.

I haven't tried your amps, etc. My standard response is Oritek X-2 interconnects(kind of like Jack Nicholson's standard response in "Terms of Endearment", "I love you too".)
