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?

Another possibility is the Silver Ghost that is advertised here on Audiogon.

I would save some money and try the AntiCables Level 3 power cord first, especially with the trial period. At $330 for 5ft the Level 3 significantly outperformed several cables in the $660-$1100 range in my system. They really took care of power line noise, too. I read about them on the San Francisco Audiophile Society webpage. They did a blind shootout, and the AntiCables came in 2nd against some pretty pricey competition.

Just my 2 cents.
