Nordost Frey 2 power cord on Agostino Monentum stereo amp

This cord effectively is a 13 gauge cable. The amp is fabulous but maybe a bit to the warm side of neutral. The cost to get to a higher gauge Nordost is cost prohibitive. I'm very happy with the Frey ic's and sc and thought the power cord might put a bit more shimmer in the sound which is already really good. A used Valhalla V1 is an option also.. Has anyone used a Nordost cable on this amp? I'm not looking for alternatives but guidance specific to Nordost. Thanks.

Purist Audio Design Dominus AC works wonders on my Momentum :-)

Dealer disclosure, right Brian?

Nordost does make some very exciting sounding cables/cords. Personally though, I have found that I cannot live with them over the long haul. I found myself having progressively shorter listening sessions, I believe due to listening fatigue (information overload?).

I still tell folks that if I simply wanted to demo how my gear sounded, I would use Nordost cables/cords, as their ability to reveal a systems capabilities is second to none. However, they just do not work well for me for long term listening sessions. Of course, as always, YMMV.
