Quality Budget RCA Interconnects

I'm looking to complete the set up of my first HiFi system and one of the last pieces of the puzzle is a decent interconnect. I'm not really looking to spend more than $40, but I'd like to find an interconnect that takes that 40 bucks as far as it can go. My set up is as follows:

B&W 685's
Jolida 1501 RC
Music Hall CD 25.2

Any thoughts, suggestions, offers, etc. are apreciated. Thanks in advance for helping out a newbie.

I've found that the Pearstone Gold Series interconnects are well-constructed, inexpensive, no-nonsense cables that do the job (but ignore the cheaper ones that have nickel-plated connectors):

Looks like a nice recommendation, Tvad, in the lengths that they offer (0.5, 1, and 2 meters).

But their capacitance is quite high at 108 pf/foot, so depending on the output impedance of the source component (which doesn't appear to be specified for the Music Hall CD25.2) I'd be hesitant to use this wire for longer runs (or as I'm sure you realize an upper treble roll-off might result).
