Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord Worth It? Over Audioquest Hurricane?


I am wondering about the performance delta between the Nordost Valhalla 2 PC versus something more "reasonably priced" as the Audioquest Hurricane PC.  Is there anyone with some experience with both of these cords able to comment on the sonic differences as you go up to the Valhalla 2?  I'm certain the answer will depend what I am connecting the cords to.  It will be one cord for a Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amplifier, and another cord for an InnuOS Zenith MKIII music server.  In other threads, I've seen some people note that a high-end PC with the Diablo won't yield much difference from the stock cable, but I'm not sure if that is true?  I'd conduct some tests but I unfortunately don't have the gear quite yet, and I'm planning out the cabling.

using NORDOST V2 PC on my Pandora, TAD D1000MK2 and Colosseum. V2 has super speed and provokes you to crank up and its ended you leaving listening loud. FIND joy with listening through Valhalla2. Speaker cables still V1 which pumps white blood to my beloved BASS heavy Pantheon. TAD to Pre is V2 RCA and Pre to Power amp is V2 XLR, ALL 1m in length. Qb8MK2 feeds by Gryphon VIP PC IEC, where my power conditioner feed by SILTECH Ruby Mountain2(waiting to remove it soon). My Gryphon system with Nordost valhalla 2 shines like RAZOR without leaving you bleeding. AudioQuest? yes i do have only a Dimond XLR AES/EBU for my MBL 1621A transport.
