best interconnect at decent price

Want to get some input on interconnects from everyone.   I have the following components and want to get the best connections between them all:

RAM Labs RM-200 Amp
ARC REF 5 Amp
ARC PH 5 Phone Stage
Rega P3 Turntable with Dynavector high output moving coil cartridge
Vandersteen A3 Signature speakers

I just ordered some speaker wires from AntiCable for the Vandersteens.  I have some cheap interconnects that will connect the components for a while, but I would like to get input on the make and model of interconnects and cabling that are a good long term solution without spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars.  Let me know if you have any suggestions...thanks

I second another poster's comment about Transparent's "The Link."

I've also had excellent results with Audioquest's Black Mamba ICs (widely available at sites like Music Fidelity & Audio Advisor).

In my experience, the cheapest yet good-sounding cables are Signal Cable's Analog Two (inexpensive):

They have been the best bang for the buck in my system and even their entry level ICs sound quite good. You can go as cheap as $20 or into the thousands; but I've not heard anything lower than their Luna 7s.
