Budget Cables for Component Connection/Interconnects

I currently have Audioquest Evergreen RCA cables connecting from my CD player to preamp - I quite like them and would like to stay within their pricerange...but when going from my preamp to amp, I've just been using 'standard' nothing special cables, as the distance between the L and R inputs on my amp is too far apart for the Audioquest cables! Frustrating!

How to Blue Jeans Cables (LC-1) compare? What about Mogami? Ideally, I'd be getting a few pairs of these for consistency and replacing the Evergreens. One for pre to power [which will later become DAC to integrated once I buy a DAC and upgrade to a tube integrated...but that's another story], one for CD to pre, and one for phono to pre!

Thanks all! - I will be upgrading to an integrated tube amp in the coming months, so don't want to have a higher end cable for a short time only before I upgrade.
I'll look into Synergistic Research, though I think even used is above my price range...the Red River isn't a bad choice though!
Even at that price, the Silver Extremes are out of range...US$90 plus shipping, import fees etc., us Canadians get screwed on the exchange rate :(

I will likely wait...just sort of window shopping now :)
Fair enough...I'll check those ones out too!
