Power cable recommendations under $1k


Does anyone have any power cable recommendations under 1k? Right now I am considering the Cardas Clear Beyond Power. I am looking for a rich, natural, and smooth sounding cord, but not overly warm. I am going to be replacing a Cardas Golden Reference  power cable, which is a fantastic cable, but is just a smidge too dry with my DAC and allows for a tiny bit of a loss of air around the instruments in my system. I have heard the Beyond Power  is a bit more neutral on the neutral side, but still very smooth, so I was thinking this might be a good replacement. Are there any others I should also consider in this price range?

I have never heard a wit's worth of difference with PC's until I got the Shunyata Venom 3 power.  The improvement is very audible, with more separation of the instruments and a wider soundstage.  Well worth the $120.  They have a pricey version of the Venom PC that is probably even more revealing.  

I recent bought some Silnote ICs that  are the best ever in my system for $199: the Morpheus Reference Series II IC.  They are stunning IC's at their price point.  I am going to order either their Poseidon GL or GS Reference PC's priced at $99 and $199, respectively.  Silnote has an array of much more price cabling if you want to go up the food chain, but these PC might be as revealing as you like for way under a kilobuck.  They have a demo period in which to audition them.
