Tonearm wire (non-fanatical)

I am restoring / modifying an old AR turntable. The thought has occurred to me to replace the tonearm wiring / interconnect assembly, but do consider the lily I am trying to gild. Web searches find me super-conducting single-crystal-silver, 72 gauge, teflon-coated, Faraday-caged, double-shielded gold-foil and 99.9999999999999% OF copper-braided, inertia-compensated, anti-gravity, temperature-controlled, variable-inductance, variable-capacitance tonearm wire (interconnect extra). Ordinarily re-mortgaging the house to try this would not be a problem, but I am a little short of negotiable securities this week.
I was thinking more along the lines of using one of my old (read: cheap) Monster Cable phono cables, cutting off one end and soldering direct to replacement tonearm wiring (which had better not set me back more than $20-$30). Or should I just do the interconnect replacement and leave the AR tonearm wires in place?
