Power cord for CJ MF2500A
CJ like McIntosh recommends their stock power cords. That said many do change out the iec or use aftermarket power cords. It may not sound any better just different. I use Kimber PK10 Palladians throughout my system and they're amazing but I do li...

PC recommendation for McIntosh 501's
Aldog,I reread your post. Try the Kimber PK10 Palladian if you are looking for a neutral sound. Articulate bass, better dynamics, free of grain and a sense of ease are just some of the characteristics of the power cord. 
PC recommendation for McIntosh 501's

Kimber Palladian PK10 vs PK14?
I use the Kimber PK 10 Gold WattGate and AG (silver) on all sources and preamp. The amp and line conditioner get the Kimber PK 10 Palladians with the AG and CU WattGates. I've used the PK 14 and while it's a good power cord go with the PK 10 since...

B&W Matrix 802 S3 pairing with McIntosh amp
McIntosh/B&W are great together. I've used this combo for years with different McIntosh solid state amps. Most recently 802 Matrix S3 with a MC402. A classic combo! 
Power Conditioners
Two words. Sound Applications. Though expensive your ears and system will thank you. Teamed with Oyiade receptacles, Elrod power cords and 20 amp dedicated ac you'll be in audio heaven.
