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.

RV who invented your model 5 supplies AQ wire with his model 7 power amps
yes there are other fine wires also
i would take a well executed copper wire over most silver any day
i am getting excellent results using some very affordable Kimber and Shunyata wires in our condo system w Vandersteen Treo
the Reference system uses AQ Wild and I think the law of diminishing returns splendidly illustrated @elizabeth is right 
BTW
properly setup IMO few speakers at any price rival the 5
.....
enjoy
