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).

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.
