Cary sli-80 power cord

Cary Audio did in fact select a power cord, as do all manufacturers, when they designed your amplifier.

Capt369 Your welcome. I would stick with the stock cord if it were me and put my money into some other upgrade. I had the same experience with my conrad johnson amp/pre-amp. That being I didn't hear any difference by upgrading the power cord from the stock supplied unit. But I know how it is to want to tweak things.

The only place I heard a discernable improvement in a power cord upgrade was on my cd player (highly modded SCD-1). The improvement was a lowered noise floor (much blacker background).

Great Integrated by the way. I really enjoy mine.

I liked the JPS Labs AC+ w/my F-1. It's a pretty stiff stout cord so make sure the standard length works in your setup. Seemed to bring out more articulate bass (not the fish). enjoy that's a great amp.

Thank you to all of you who took the time to respond to this thread. I just made a deal for a cardas gr pc for it along with a cardas golden pc for my cdp.

My second system is almost identical to yours i.e. Cary SLI80F1 and Merlin TSM's. The SLI80 responds very well to tube rolling, therefore, I would only look towards improving the PC after you have experimented with tubes. I use a DIY made Acrolink 6N OCC terminated with Furutech plugs.
