Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank


I am in the process of updating my audio equipment and have realized my interconnects are probably not up to snuff; I use the ones provided by the manufacturers.  My current set up includes a Leben cs600 amplifier, California audio lab Icon Mark II CD player, Linn Akurate Streamer, Feikert Volare Table and Spendor SP1 speakers ( in final stages of upgrade to either Audio Note E, Devore O93 or Joseph Profile).  I have been investigating interconnects and have a bit of sticker shock.  So any suggestions on interconnects that won't  bankrupt me?  Is silver truly preferable to copper with respect to resolution and detail?
Thanks

+4 for elizabeth, very good advise given, for the Ops question of silver vs copper again I'm with elizabeth. Spend an extravagant amount assembling silver loom (used) only to be disappointed. Back to copper. I do firmly believe that cables are system dependent and one size does not fit all. Price does not guarantee better. For example I had Transparent Ultra SCS at multi multi Benjamins only to be never wowed at all, boring, then bought some Tara labs (used) and cheap and was blown away. They are still in the system. I found Blue jeans cable very good for providing a base line and are a very acceptable cable in all configurations.  Not plugging BJC as none remain connected but they did their duty well and provided great comparison opportunity.  
I see a lot of plugs for specific brands and that's a good opinion but it's opinion of their system which differs from your system. 
Get a affordable baseline first before wasting $$$ trying to get YOUR sound via cable swapping. JMO!
