Hi,
what is the best power cable under $1000?
I've had good luck with the Shunyata. Triode Wire Labs are also good.
The best power cable that I've ever heard is the MIT Oracle ZIII. You can get it on Audiogon from Joe for around $700 new. Just for reference, I've listened to every single cable in the Shunyata and Transparent lines and a good amount of cables from Synergistic.
The bass is so prominent and at the same time effortless on the MIT, that it has to be heard to be believed.
To answer that question I would use a vendor with a return policy like audioadvisor or the cable company. Put their feet to the fire with the same question and see if you can audition 3 brands at various price points. After the audition you should have an idea of what YOU like and can start making decisions. I don't think anyone can answer what will sound best to your ears in your system. That's why using vendors with a return policy is so important.

Has anyone tried the Cardas Clear Beyond (< $1,000) power cable?
Would you be so kind to share some detail about this? TIANo, but I can promise you there is an engineering flaw in it.

Well that's certainly a very complex and impressive looking wiring layout. Almost tempting, kinda like shopping the CD Racks at your favorite local store and stumbling across a CD cover that strikes your fancy. And you buy it just for that reason alone despite never hearing of the artist before that moment
A 1m Furutech DPS-4 w/NCF plugs comes in right around $1k, nothing in that price range is even close and I'd bet you won't find a significantly better cable at any price.
I completely agree. I use Nordost V2 and (Odin phono) for all of my IC's and SC's but I use Furutech Alpha Nano wires with NCF plugs and NCF outlets for power. (Soulution and ARC gear.) I do not do it for price. I do it for performance. Scot Markwell, Harry Pearson's old set-up guy makes my stuff. I use the 10 Gauge Nano FPS55N from my Transformer all the way to my gear. According to Scot the DPS-4 is even better!!!
