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?

TWL power cords. I use the Digital American series for my amp and SACD player and the improvement was readily apparent. It's like you're increasing the "torque" of the power without affecting the "horsepower" aspect of top speed and extension. It's not the best analogy but hopefully it gets my point across.
You'll get a bigger, yet effortless presentation at the same time.

All the best,
