Best interconnects for Rotel 1072cd player

Clear Day Cables IC $165 - competes with cables 3-4X times the price easily. Their Double Shotgun might be outside your budget - $450, but with the savings on the IC you'd be close. The Clear Day IC is hard to beat. If you can't stretch your budget, Kimber 4TC and 8TC are a good option and often on the used market. The Clear Day speaker cable is much better than the Kimber, but the Kimber is still very good. Audioquest cables are very good but in this price range I think Kimber is better. I've heard many brands in this range and up and still feel Clear Day Cables are outstanding. You'll have to spend much more to better them. Very open and smooth and do a pretty good job getting out of the way or being less of a tone control. Pricier cables have a little bigger and deeper stage but again you'll need to spend 4-5X the price. Paul is a great guy and will send you demo sets to make sure they work in your system before you buy. Doesn't get much easier than that. Paul does offer a single Shotgun SC but I've not heard them so I can't speak for them. With your speakers I'd recommend the Double Shotgun anyway.
