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?

@fundsgon   For the love of everything aurally holy grab some Audioquest Colorados at music direct.  They are 60% off!! I took advantage of the sale and have my entire system wired with them now!  They have .5m.  1m. and 1.5 m. lengths available.  I have a VPI Scout, with a Dynavector DV20X2, using a 1m. pair into my phono pre and then a .5m. pair into my line stage.  Clean, clear and dynamic.  A truly rare opportunity to "steal" some fine cables on an amazing closeout sale.

I use the VPI phono cables for my VPI Scout.  I just sold a pair here last week for 100.00.  They come up often here.

I'd go with the VPI as well.  Used them on my Scout, and still use one on my Oracle Paris.

Looking to the future, I have the Ortofon's on my list to try.

I switched to all Mogami, both RCA and balanced. Cannot be happier. Noise/hum level went down. Low capacitance helps with phono connection too. They also give lifetime warranty. I do not think anything else is better unless you want to use cable as tone control.
