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?

Cerious Technologies Graghene power cords might work for you. If it’s for your Dac you want the Red power cord. If it doesn’t work you can send it back for a refund.

I just got my Pangea se14, power cord I was shocked how good it is, I used it for my Yamaha SACD 1000, it's only $59 1.5m.

........I do believe that the copper wiring in the Panega power cords are mfg. / supplied by Cardas. Just a thought in regards to your
original post and inquiry
