I have a Cary SLP-05 and I use an Elrod Statement. I tried many cords; Acoustic Zen, Analysis Plus, Nordost Valhalla, Older Shunyatas and a few others and the Elrod was so good it elevated the already great SLP-05 to another level. It has such a "musical" quality that no other cord could touch it. The only other cord that came close was the Kimber PK10 Palladian.
