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?

Not sure if the connection to the RCA jack is loose, or if there is something loose inside of the plug, but both interconnect cables now don't work. I swapped in a set of Audio Note interconnects from another system and everything works again, but still will change both sets; maybe the Discovery interconnects.

My problem is I don't want to start chasing interconnects, just want a decent one that doesn't hurt the signal or sound.

I could try fixing the offending cables, maybe later today, busy right now preparing my house and yard ready for winter.

My cartridge is an Ortofon Cadenza Black, MC.

Thanks everyone - the hunt for cables is on! This is something I've been trying to avoid, but now have no choice but to find something suitable.

BTW, my latest upgrade was to purchase a used VPI 3D arm, and I would say the difference is not subtle. Love it.
