IC's between Power Amp and Pre Amp

Jena, Purist and Cardas are all for sale here at Audiogon in that price range.

In fact, you could buy one or two brands at that price, try them and resell at (probably) no loss except for the ad fee of $5.00.

I think you should try SilentAudio Apollo C copper interconnects(for Solid State components). They are available on audiogon auctions and if you can get by with short 18-20" lengths, Paul will make them up for you at such a modest cost it is virtually a no risk proposition. If you like them you'll have some spare change--$375 to play with. If you want to spend $400+ I like Kworks custom made non shielded ICs and Igor also makes a very fine "empowered" model power cord. I have no connection with either company other than being a satisfied customer.

I have Musical Fidelity products and I have been VERY happy with Harmonic Technology Truth Link Silver and the Pro Silway II.
I currently have both and can tell no difference between the Truth Link Silver and the Pro Silway II. I got both on Audiogon for very reasonable rates. I live in a hi RF area (Seattle suburb)so the shielding is nice.

I own and love Nordost Red Dawn. Whatever you decide on I strongly suggest you buy used, that way if you're not happy with your first choice you can resell it at your purchase price and try again, over and over until you're happy. Good luck!

Purist Audio Museaus works very well in my system,
