I had an unexpected revelation this morning regarding the positive impact of power cables on the Nirvana.
I have another amp en route this week (a CFA-3) and was doing some advance rack and cable planning, which prompted me to do some power cable switching between my amps, and I did some impromptu tests.
I've found that when switching from the Nordost Heimdall 2, which I've been using with the Nirvana this past year, to the Cardas Parsec (which I normally use with another amp), resulted in an audible upgrade in bass clarity and a perceptible soundstage improvement. Considering that the Parsec is half the price of the Heimdall, this is a very good reminder for myself to always keep testing...
TLDR.. I highly recommend the Cardas Parsec power cable with the Nivrana!
