High resolution Copper IC with PRAT like AntiCable

I have always been amazed by the way Anti cables produce music with top quality Pace and timing. Unfortunately they dont have the resolution to be a permanent member of my system. I clearly hear their limitations in frequency extremes and resolution. In my system I use them between my pre to power amp. It is only there because of its PRAT. Now, I am trying to find a better cable which has similar PRAT. I would want to stick to copper only. Please do not suggest any silver cables.
Basically I am looking for Copper Interconnects with higher resolution and frequency bandwidth which also have great speed and timing. My budget is about $500 used, give or take 25%. I have done a blind shortlist:
1. Audio note Lexus (since Audio note is known for PRAT)
2. Abbey Road Reference (since it is a high quality studio cable, I am guessing it would have good timing)
3. Omega Mikro (any)

Please comment on these ICs if you have heard them and also suggest interconnects that you think fits my requirement.

I had the Anti-ICs in my system for about six months and was happy with them. I agree with your impression that they allow for a presentation with good PRaT (assuming the rest of the system can do that).

But after I made improvements to my source/preamp, the Anti-ICs worked less well in my system. After reading various recommendations for Morrow cables, I switched to the Morrow MA3s. Now I'm happy again. Like the Anti-ICs, the MA3s allow for a presentation with good PRaT. But, in my system, the MA3s are more extended, have less grain, and let through more harmonic color than the Anti-ICs. Yes, I know, the MA3s are silver coated. But in my system, they have none of the negative characteristics sometimes associated with silver. FWIW.
