I have just bought Reference 2 phono and since I have not used in the past an AR product I was wondering what type of power cord is suitable. Currently I am using a Nordost Valhalla.

As you have an all Valhalla power cable system, it can be a strong reason to keep it. Ignoring the system approach, my REF Phono2 likes a lot the Shunyata power cables - and I could see in a recent article showing a factory visit that ARC uses Shunyata in their listening room they were using Shunyata power cables. http://www.soundstageglobal.com/index.php/company-tours/audio-research-march-13-2014/488-audio-research-design-and-listening
