Have Markertek make you up best-quality custom cables from Mogami 2534 Japanese microphone cables and REAN (Neutrik's second brand) best-quality RCAs (black or silver). You can tell them any length for the cable; they cut the cable to that length and then terminate. You have a choice of ten colors. The Gray looks very businesslike with the Black RCAs. A 30-inch pair like that would cost $48.90 plus shipping.
Then, send them to Applied Cryogenics in Massachusetts for processing; they do a batch every weekend. You can probably fit four or five pounds of cable in a box that qualifies for their minimum charge of $50.
Then, splurge on 5 ml of Dayton-Wright Stabilant 22, which was the chemical behind "Tweak" contact enhancer, and treat all your low-voltage signal connections and loudspeaker and amp terminals, but no 115V power items. The Stabilant comes exclusively in the US from Posthorn Recordings in NYC. You also have to have a pharmacy special-order 99% pure alcohol for you to dilute the Stabilant. All that including shipping will be under $50.
Or, you could get a 1m pair of Cardas Microtwin for $196.
Best of luck,
