You can get some 5' IC's from Blue Jeans for about $35. IMHO these a 'benchmark' for inexpensive cabling, neutral in tone, have low capacitance, and tonally should match your components.
FWIW, I think Tpreaves is thinking that VA will recommend inexpensive wires. As I recall in general VA thinks design of the component is more important than all of the high tech (expensive) caps, resistors, wires, etc as used in many expensive components. But maybe my poor memory fails me once again. :-)
