You can not go wrong with MC O5s, you can add them slowly a couple or one at a time. MC 1Pro is very nice but its little more than a few MC O5s |
Hi Dave
Have not heard of the new MC-1 Pro Helix yet. Have heard of the New Pro Power Conditioner, to fill in right below the Pro Elite conditioner in the High Fidelity line up. Also heard talk again of adapters for speaker cables. Keep us posted
Thanks Pete

Hello rx8man
Its never to late to to have good sound. Some people chase the next best thing and they should if it works for them. I have been using High Fidelity now for a while and have only up graded up the line for better sound each time. They have some pretty nice upgrades coming around the corner. If you can Try a Pro MC-1 or the newer Pro MC-1 Helix It just gets better. Mine are mixed with Transparent Cable XLRs and speaker cables.
Enjoy Pete

I see the MC 1 Pro Helix is now on the web sight has any one tried it yet? or compare to the MC 1 Pro?
|
Give them time to break in, and then report.
|
rx8man let us know what you think? I think i would have given the Pro 1 a listen before the speaker cables. But that just me good luck

Testing the New MC O.5s will report early next week. Big difference between A and B marked MC O.5s.

High Fidelity face book page has some info

HELLO lak
The 2 new MC O5s are not produced yet, that i am aware of. The ones i have are test samples marked "A" and "B" I believe High Fidelity is waiting on feedback, before they manufacture one or both. There is a pretty big difference between the two. "A" has the stronger and more magnets in it and "B" has less magnets but the Helix design. I have put a little over 125 hours on "A" and now listening to "B". Will give a review early next week. |

Thats great, where did you place the MC-1 Pro Helix+? Front end on amp?
Thanks for the update

Hello clsmooth391
I would call High fidelity and ask what they think. They are easy to talk to. I am using their products higher up the chain and love them. They do have a 30 day trial period with refund. A couple MC O.5s at less cost than the cables you're looking at for a try and see if you like the sound. Very easy to install i have 48 of them spread through my system.
Good luck Pete

Not familiar with your power conditioner, but i had a PS Audio P10. The MC O .5s worked well at the wall feeding the P10 and not as well plunged into it. Later i removed the P10 and things got better. Try it as many ways as you can and give it a fair amount of time in each configuration you try and report back. |
clsmooth391
the MC-1 Pros are very good. they work well with the MC O5s. I have one on the power line that feeds my front end and was very happy with it. Report back after you get some time on it.
Enjoy Pete

I have the very same set up, and found for me the Pro Pc feeding the Hemisphere worked best. Tried it on my disc player was good but on the Hemisphere was better. You can try and move it around to see what you like better. Just remember to give it time at each spot tried. Report back if you do.

Well i have been listening to the 2 prototype MC O.5s "A and "B" for a while now. "A" being with stronger and more magnets, "B" has the Helix design with gold plated magnets not as strong as "A" in fact i think "A" felt heavier in hand than "B". "B" had a more smoother sound. Also a better sound stage. "A" was more stronger- loud. It sounded like the volume was turned up a couple notches."A" did not have the front to back in the sound stage that "B" had.
"A" sounded like the volume was turned up, but the overall sound stage was not as good or deep. But i did like or felt "A" strong points where shown more on symphony type music with more punch. I do feel "A" did improve video slightly more than "B". "B" the sound stage was better and a lot softer sound over all, with more detail more space. I think Rick wants to experiment with the MC O.5s a "C" version maybe before deciding which one comes to market. Both "A" and "B" where used on the frontend of my system with the High Fidelity products i all ready have.
I did move "A" to my amp line with "B" still on the front end power line. I thought this sounded better yet for "A" than on the front end side. It was al so the best sound with both being used at the same time.
enjoy Pete

The New MC O.5s Helix + is now out on the High Fidelity Face book Page. Not on the web page yet $599.00. From what I under stand this is different from what I tested. Rick want more out of it and changed it.

Back in October i was thinking about adding another Pro power cord to my system. The first one was really a big leap in sound quality. I have moved from the UR to the UR Helix with a nice jump in sound. when i went to the Pro level it was a huge jump in sound quality. So i felt it was time to add one to my disc player. Talking to High fidelity Cable (Rick) he told me about a new piece of equipment that he was working on. Better than any Pro Power cord. The NEW Pro Power Conditioner. So i decide to take him up on it. It arrived in a wood crate. No plastic hard case for this big boy. Rick had given me the dimension at the start. But until you actually see it in person the size just does not click for me any ways. It is heavy 72lbs and large than my amp at 120 lbs. Rick went all out for this piece, taking technology form its bigger brother Pro Elite conditioner and then adding grounding ports to it. You need to check the pictures out on their Facebook page or Web sight.
Right out of the crate the sound was super cleaner sounding, clarity un believable. Base was very strong and tight with a much bigger punch than what i had. Even now as i have about 40 hours on it the sound keeps improving more space between notes, wide sound stage with more 3D like stage. Its even made the picture on my older LED TV much better sharpness and color. Rick said about a 1000 hours and it really will sing out. I have a ways to go but so far its been perfect on all sound across the board. I can easily listen all day and some time do. Zero fatigue or harshness, never heard floor noise this low or nonexistence before. the sound is just so much fuller sounding or richer. Rick hit this one out of the park.

Yes 2 major component up grade, not cheap But WOW on sound

the Pro Power Conditioner
The sound stage is really getting good, the front to back layering is just unbelievable good.

Hi ddraudt
I did pick up some .8ga. copper wire from the local hardware store, crimped some very cheap spades on the end. Grounded the Preamp and Disc Player. Had it on for about 2 weeks or so. Pulled it off did not hear any improvement. The wire is very stiff and not as easy to work with. May put it back in to see if I can hear a difference now. Going to look into a silver wire in the very near future and see how it sounds. Do you have any recommendation on silver wire-Ga, single strand, plated, pure silver??
The PRO POWER conditioner is just amazing so far and keeps getting better every week. Base and sound stage is very good. |
onlychild
Might be a good idea, i will put a call into him next week and see if he thinks it would make a good ground wire.
Thanks
|
After talking to High Fidelity Cables- they are looking into making some ground cables. But where going to research what makes a good ground cable so it will be down the road before they come out with any.

Wow very sorry to hear this. I have always been treated well by High Fidelity Cables and Rick. I hope this gets worked out for your full satisfaction. Please keep us posted on it.

ddraudt
Did you have then both on the same power line or separate spots in your system/ If separate spots where?
thanks Pete |
