Man this is frustrating

I'm needing interconnects x 2 pair between TT and phono pre and from pre to amplifier. I'm decidedly mid-fi with a budget of under $500 for the 2 pair. VPI Traveler (found new on the cheap as the dealer is getting out of the 2-channel business), Mobile Fidelity Studio Phono, Rega Brio, Dynaudio Excite X18s. 

Looked initially at Blue Jean Cables and then read some not so good reviews. I'd love some solid suggestions and experiences.

Thanks

The runs are short (1 to 1.5 meters). I also have a Budgie preamp but would likely need a step up transformer to use it with this system.

Audioquest Columbias are nice. - Cardas doesn’t work well at all in my system. BlueJeans are really not audiophile quality.  They will tell you that cables make little difference if any at all....they are put together well, but.....

You could make your own. KLEI pure harmony ICs, solid silver wire from vh audio.. they sound amazing and cost $150/pair. If you’re interested, I can provide more info

I like to tinker. Why not try a DIY approach? It may not be what I use initially but I'm interested.

Context is good. Learned perspective is good. DIY is encouraged.
