Langood,
I highly recommend the Signal Cable Silver Resolutions. Been using them for years now. I have the same power amp as you - Parasound A21. The difference between these and the Analog Two, is that the Silvers have better resolution and imaging. They bring out more details on a recordings than the Analog 2. At the same time they are not ear-killing bright.
Since you have the P3, you should try the XLR between the amp and pre-amp and RCA for the CDP, unless it has XLR. Frank at Signal Cable is a nice guy to work with.

Sgr,
I began with Signal Cable Silver Resolutions between my CDP and an integrated amp that I do not have any more. With that, I had the Nordost 4 Flat bi-wires for my speaker cables. The Silver Res had replaced the Nordost Blue Heavens (on loaner from the dealer who sold me the CDP), that I found were very bright in my system. Being impressed with the Silver Res RCAs, I simply went ahead and purchased the Silver res speaker cables. I did not consult with Frank on that. But I am more than happy that I replaced the Nordost 4 Flats with these. They reveal a lot of information without sounding bright, in my system.
I am not sure if Frank can provide loaners on the Ultra that you mention. I would like to try and find out how that combination would work in my system. BTW, all my cabling is from Signal Cables - been pretty happy with them.

Thanks,
