Interconnect cables for turntable

Last nights listening session was interrupted when one speaker went silent! The culprit was the wire had loosened from the RCA connector on that side of the table to phono preamp - not the first time this has happened. I have a mish-mash of interconnects - Cord, Monster, Blue Jeans, now I'm thinking I should  replace the interconnects between the turntable and phono preamp, and also between the phone pre and the preamp. 

My system: VPI Classic 3, Zesto Andros 1.2, ARC LS27

I'm not interested in spending multiple thousands of dollars, maybe a few hundred to a thousand or so. Anti Cables seem to be reasonably priced. What other brands should I consider?

Have you considered fixing the culprit cable?

It sounds as though you have your mind set towards something new?

Based upon your (posted) system, you should be using a higher quality IC.

Afraid to go further until we know more.

Cheers!

fundsgon,

I have a VPI Classic 3 Sig. SE. Here is my cable history with this tt so far:

Blue Jeans  (not revealing enough)
VPI  (introduced hum in my system, returned it for refund)
Grover Huffman phono  (about a 5 year old cable, sounded decent)
Morrow Audio PH-6  ( too forward or bright with this tt)
Bob's Devices mid level cable  (sounded VERY good)
Anti Cable 6.2 cryo'd  ( beat the Bob's by a hair) I'm currently using these.

In my system, the Bob's is the better value. From my memory, BJC, Bob's, A-C are the lowest in capacitance.
