Best copper interconnect cables

I am looking for a pair of copper wire interconnects for my new reference preamp...but the choices that are given to me make me wonder what is the difference.
I have seen outfits that offer continuous strand copper wires, OFC copper wire and other things with wide range of prices from extremely affordable such as the Vampwires to the ridiculous. What is the true story of copper and its qualities?

My preamp is a First Sound Paramount Hotrod MKII
my amp is a DNA 225

The most I would consider spending is $300 for the interconnects with RCA plugs (1-2 meter run pairs)

Shasta & Rgd,

Do you own only the interconnect or speaker cables as well? I ask, since I'm very interested in Chimera's speaker cables, but I've looked in vain for any user feedback on the speaker cables. Many people applaud the ICs, but little is said of the speaker cables. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses folks. Perhaps in the new year, when the Xmas depletion has been tamed, I'll try a set of the Chimera speaker cables and report my findings(I'd love to hear a set of the Jena Labs, but alas, they are way out of my price range for a set of wires - I'd rather sink that cash into more software or a new table and arm). Good listening,

-R.
