Bel canto monoblocks and power cables

For those, like me, who believe power cables make a difference: anyone with experience with bel canto amps and power cables. I use Nordost Vishnu with all of my source equipment and hear significant improvement.  With my BC ref 500m monoblocks, which I love and which sound so good, power cable swaps don’t seem to make a difference.   I’ve tried Nordost and Acoustic Zen Tsunamis. They don’t degrade the sound but there doesn’t seem to be much benefit either.  Anyone?

I have also found that with a really good audiophile quality amp I don't hear a noticeable difference or perhaps just a tad of difference when trying different high-quality power cords. In this particular case, I'm talking about my Plinius SA Reference amp.  I do hear a significant difference with my preamp, phono preamp, transport, Dac, and FM tuner.
We need someone like @almarg to explain this.
