Best power cord for McIntosh MC 501 monoblocks

I am not familar with your AZ cable but you might want to try silver interconnects like Kimber's. That may work great for you.

Are you having these issues in your system right now? because these amps are not boomy or over bloated and have endless detail and transparency so there has to be another reason or reasons why if you are.

What is the rest of your associated gear, size of room etc.

I had very good results with Harmonix x-dc studio master on my ma2275. Switched out from the Shunyata alpha and found the harmonix to sound more detailed and and livlier.

I use Virtual Dynamics Master LE 2.0 power cord with my MC501 and got incredible result. It is better than an amplifier upgrade and has all the characters you described, music sound more organic overall. I have tried different brands of power cords including different lines of power cord from Virtual Dynamics, so far the Master LE is the best that I've heard by a huge margin. Now I have stopped looking and just enjoying my music.
