Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money

I currently have a system which consists of Vandersteen 5A's, THor Audio TP-150 tubed monoblocks, Thor Line Stage and Thor phono stage, Marantz SACD player SA-114 and will take delivery of the VPI Prime Scout with a Sumiko EVOS 3 Cartridge. I am currently using LAT International Speaker Cables, Power Cords and Interconnects. (They are no longer in business). I am in immediate  need of turntable cables and would like to update my new speaker cables and interconnects. Not willing to spend thousands on this upgrade. Seeking to capture as much of the "magic" that the super expensive cables deliver but at a more realistic price point. I understand that I have really good quality equipment, but at this stage of my life cannot allocate mega dollars towards cables.
 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cables are and will always be a crap shoot. You just never know how they will interact/work in your system and money and cost as zip to do with how they will react with your system and how any power cord will react to the power supply in the gear its plugged into. 

Always bring a cable home to try, if you buy used then you will not have that option, but you won't be out big bucks either. I tried many and you learn you start chasing your tail, and once you find a great match stop and enjoy it. Never heard god talk to me yet with any cable. Smile!
