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

For ultimate flexibility in choices (i.e., custom-made), try Douglasconnection.com .  Doug has various grades of raw cable to choose from, including Canare, Mogami, Furez, Furutech.  Same with connectors, including ETI, Vampire Wire, Furutech, etc.  Of course you can choose your own custom length.  There is detailed information about each product on his website, so you really know what you're getting.

I went the DIY route with his products, to save a few dollars, and because I like to tinker.  You can give Doug your budget and your specs, and he will come back with various options/combinations for you to select from.  I've done RCA and XLR interconnects from him, as well as power cables.  He also has digital coax and speaker cables.  Doug is a great guy to work with, and you really can't go wrong with any of his product offerings.
