Where to go after Anticables Level 3 power cords?


Hi all! I'm relatively happily using Anticables Level 3 power cords around my whole system, but looking how to upgrade without spending crazy money for monsters like Shunyata, Audioquest, Transparent, NBS, Nordost. Heard good references about Acoustic Zen, Jena Labs, LessLoss etc., but because of living in Europe not all of them is easy to try before buying, so looking forward to your experience regarding who is reliably better than Anticables Level 3, at prices below 1K per 6ft cable (new or second-hand).

The all-time gold standard in power cords in that price range is the Synergistic Research Master Coupler. Its not the gold standard because its the very best. Its the gold standard because its so doggone good that its been made for 30 years and its still so good people sometimes pay up to $400 for them even the 30 year old ones. Its just very, very hard to beat - and it can be done but not without spending a whole lot more money. 

Because its been made for so long there's a lot of them out there which is good because people know they are good and so they tend to get snapped up pretty quickly. I've seen people with 3 or 4 of them for sale all at once still manage to get $275 or more. Its also good because they are sold worldwide and so your chances of finding one you can use are a lot better than most others. 

So there you go.
I actually went down in price but up in sound quality (in my opinion and in my system, of course).  I had been using the Anticables Level 3 with good success for quite a while, but I decided to try a few other affordable cords out of curiosity.  Surprisingly, the Audio Envy Ocean-Elite 3P for $179 (6ft.) was a significant step above anything I tried and bettered the Level 3 as well.  There is a discussion thread active right now about the Audio Envy cables - they are certainly worth trying.

+1, for the SR Master Coupler.     I have an active iteration, on the Stealth XXX, power purifier, that feeds most of my components.    Another on my Transnova 9505, subwoofer amp (wall-outlet-fed).     Neither are going anywhere, anytime soon.
