Nordost Vishnu works great with low power headphone gear. PS Audio is more for bigger equipment, they have more shielding which adds more bass but sacrifices transparency. They could even sound worse than stock cables when paired with the wrong equipment.
Vishnu with my big (38 lbs) CD player sounded a little compressed, but for my DAC1 it sounded great and had lots of body and transparency. It took my HD590 into a higher level that I didn't think was possible.
So basically:
Fat cable for big equipment
Slim cable for small equipment
Shielding for bass and lower noise floor
No shielding for highs and transparency
