HF magnetic adapters is a genius idea! Thanks Rick and Co.
An affordable way to get a sense of magnetic conduction. Great!
I'm hoping to try the AC adapters, When they are out, for some ancillary equipment that use 2 wire power cords (like my MAC server.) |
Happy Holidays to all.
I've enjoyed the latest posts, Thanks.
I must wholeheartedly agree the HFC stuff is more that one could imagine.
My system is cleverly simple so I only need one digital, one interconnect and speaker cable for signal. I have 4 top of the line HFC power cords that make a bigger improvement that the signal cables. But the power cords are a higher level. I have two URH power cords and to Pro series power cords. my IC's are URH. The speaker cables are old UR's that i dream of upgrading to PRO series speaker cables some day when available.
I find that the higher up the line i go, the more unbelievably real it becomes.
High Fidelity product are ideal for a crazy audio nut like myself. I've never experienced such audio joy. For 35 years I had systems that would do more than just play all the notes.
Beyond just playing music there is a level of magic achieved by the most ardent audiophiles.
Depth, space and air start the list. Interactions with the record venue and the materials of the instruments become more pronounced. more and more subtle clues to the artist emotion and intent are apparent. Eventually the soundstage engulfs you and you are in the music.
My HFC wish list still includes a few more URH power cords, a pro speaker cable and a pro IC. anyone know where I can get $50K for more toys.
Cheers

rlawry, Hi, I have both the URH and The Pro power cables and would characterize the upgrades to be much more of the same. In that every time I add another HFC piece, I am amazed at how much better it is than the best sound I have ever heard. I add or upgrade another piece and BANG!! A whole other lever of undiscovered music and unimagined realism. As I experience the next level upgrade, the improvements seem to get vastly better than the previous upgrade. This week, by rewiring
my power distribution, I was able to free up one of my 2 URH pc's
and plug it into my Tune Bank. I could never have imagined how much more real and engulfing my sound is now. I use the 2 pro's, one to my power distribution box and the other to my integrated amp. My other URH is to my DSD DAC
I dream of the Pro Speaker Cables and how I might fit them in my room.
30 year mortgage sounds like a good way to afford them. Cheers D

So many interesting posts! Thanks!
I've heard talk of power cord amperage issues but I have never experienced any negative issues, even when running the entire system thru one HFC PC.
I have heard the Tchaik 6 has waveguides in it. I know the people involved.
As I dream of a few PRO pieces , I have ordered a couple of MC 0.5's
as I have been told the are "stupid good" for the price.
They ship today!! I'll let you know.
I was think back a few years and remember how crazy folks thought I was with my descriptions of how amazing High Fidelity Cables were. Nice to see the over the years, that more people have gone crazy.
A friend, while listening to the latest improvements to my system said.
"this sh** is real"
Succinct.
Enjoy the music!
D |
Lak, I will have a couple MC-0.5 in a few days.
will let you know.

philipwu, some interesting facts about loosing magnetism.
Older steel and Alnico magnets were worse at loosing magnetism.
HFC uses the most powerful and expensive magnets made.
1. a permanent magnet can loose 1% in 10 years, 10% in 100years.
2. The "Curie" temperature for disrupting magnetism is about 400F.
3. opposing magnetic force can weaken a magnetic field and is used in
some industries to control the amount of magnetism. Not audio.
Best not to hook them up backwards for years. ;-) D |
Yeah! MC-0.5's will be here today!!
|
bugredmachine, hi. I put one MC-0.5 in the wall outlet where my power distribution box is plugged to (PRO PC to distribution).
I have a second one plugged into open outlet on distribution box.
A great price for moving to a higher level of musical display and musical enjoyment.
Cheers D |
MC-0.5 first listen. .. Wow!
Got 2 MC-0.5's in at noon today.
By 12:25 I was thrilled!
I wasn't sure how much it would help considering my use of HFC URH and PRO power cords but this little device brought me a big step closer to real.
The HFC site describes the effect..
"The MC-0.5, once plugged into an extra outlet, delivers a dramatically cleaner, clearer music signal with better dynamics, realism and musicality. It is both more detailed as well as more relaxed-sounding at the same time. "
That is exactly what putting one 0.5 does in my system!!
to a greater degree that I would have imagined. Similar to adding another HFC power cord, this $299 wonder is, as Rick told me, "Stupid Good for the money!"
I love how much cleaner, clearer and more detailed all instruments sound.
Highest Recommendation!!
Now back to add a second MC-0.5!!!
Cheers D
|
MC-0.5 second listen... Wow!!
I added a second one to the system and it made another big improvement. Now I see why they sell them in sets of 1, 2 and 4.
A set of 4 MC-0.5's are only $250 each, crazy price for what they do.
I called Rick and he said that they are additive and using one in every open outlet works best. I just ordered 2 more!!
No way I want to live without them now that I've heard them.
I recommend that you "git you some"
The first run of these will run out soon, then HFC will be waiting for more parts.
I look forward reading to Calloway's experience with these.
Enjoy the music! I do! D

lak, I have used isolation transformers, I also have a secondary AC panel with hydraulic/magnetic breakers in stead of the standard thermal breakers. I have worked continually on upgrading my power distribution system and have made great strides. I have run directionalized 10AWG
wire and use Oyaide R-0 outlets with Furutech wall plate and cover on all 5 outlets. Years of testing different wire for distribution box From a friend of mine. As well as testing different boxes, outlets, inlets ect. Too many improvements to mention. I use the same attention to detail on my speakers, components, room treatment ect. The MC-0.5's brought me closer to the music than I have ever been. Much Closer!!
Excuse me if I think that anyone who doesn't get these is nutz.
;-) D
|
hic, welcome and congrats on getting a MC-0.5.
I think the HFC Digital Has a greater effect than the speaker cables
unless you get top of the line SC. YMMV. Digital signal's small size requires the very best noise control and Magnetic conduction is the absolute quietest, most natural sound imaginable!
I'm Thrilled with my High Fidelity Speaker Cables and have Never heard anything better. The only way I'd sell my SC is if I could get the next level
HFC.
Cheers D |
hifial, I agree with jmcgrogan2 that if the MC-0.5's are plugged into any outlet in that is part of the audio power, it will work. HFC's statement "magnets make more music" is additive, so More magnets make even More music. That is why I ordered 4 of the MC-0.5's and why I have a full loom of HFC.
Yesterday afternoon and evening I sat, transfixed buy Shockingly Superior* sound that even my system previously could not do.
It's uncanny to go from Amazing to Unbelievable to Another Universe.
Cheers D
*TBG is credited with the phrase "shockingly superior". ;-)
|
Calloway, thanks for you input on the .5's.
looks like we are all very impressed!
I can't wait to get my 3rd and 4th ones!
This may be Master Ricks key to fame and fortune.
I'm sure they will sound great in impressive systems.
I wonder what they sound like in a modest system?
I have not tried one on my 4K tv yet.
"TOYS"!!!!! |
Rlawry, Thank you for your findings on the MC-0.5's, I agree wholeheartedly! Astonishing Improvement on my system...
I also agree, that it is hard to describe The improvement of HFC's magnetic conduction designs over electrical conduction, in terms
adequate. So thanks for your descriptions.
My system already sounded ridiculously absurdly Great with the advent of a fortune in High Fidelity products... Just one of these .5's elevated the listening experience to undiscovered realms of musical magic!! I've never experienced such solid images in the soundstage. Glorious hoards of subtle clues combine to mimic reality in ways I could never have dreamt possible. Adding a second one lifted us to yet another plain of existence. I ordered two more and wait in line for them to be assembled.
Cheers D
Philipwu, I have worked on audio power for almost 40 years and have never heard standard AC power that was even close to being good enough for High End audio components to sound their best.
Off the top of my head, here are a few trouble spots inside the home:
Standard, to electrical code in the US, wiring is not good sounding. 10AWG wire sounds better than 12AWG.
properly oriented 10AWG sounds better then 10AWG romex.
aluminum wire totally sucks!!
To Code, Thermal breakers use high resistance wire inside to heat up and throw the breaker. This high resistance wire, robs Dynamics and leading edge response time or SLAM.
There are many electrical devices and connections in a home that degrade the sine wave and add noise. Some devices add noise even if on a different circuit.
Breaker Boxes add much distortion and vibration. A standard
duplex outlet, outlet box, cover plate adds more noise.
The audio system itself creates RF and IF noise as well as vibration that can effect the power.
All this, even if you have a local, small town power plant close by.
You may have exceptional power. That would be great.
I know many music lovers who are very in to audio but do not have expensive, reference quality audio systems. I have experience that some devices to do wonders in my system cannot be distinguished in theirs.
They are happy with their sound and i am happy with mine.
Cheers D |
Lak, Thanks for you input on the adapters.
All, I should get my 3rd and 4th MC-0.5's this week and will let you know
my impressions. I know that 2 work better than one and that they have greater effects in some places than others. But all placements change the sound in astonishing ways.
Cheers D
|
More IS better some times!
And this is true for the MC-0.5's.
As a matter of fact, all HFC magnetic wonders.
I got my 3rd and 4th MC-0.5's today and the improvements are great!
Each .5 I added to my system gave me a better sense of space, air, effortlessness, musicality, depth, solidity, tonal detail, shape, separation.
It's more than that... "Magical"! "Engulfing"! ... more than that...
New realms my friends, new realms!
Removing one makes the sound less clear, smooth, quiet, clean...
Thinking of trying to connect one in my breaker box.
Cheers D
|
Calloway, There was one outlet that seemed have less of an effect for unknown reasons. Moving where two items were plugged in made it better.
I have one in the wall outlet that I think made the most difference but quantifying this type of improvement is tricky for me.
I have 3 MC-0.5's in my 8 outlet distribution box. (4 duplex ).
Uncanny presentation!
Cheers D
|
Hi All, I can hear that the MC-0.5's sound more refined after break in.
And that there are some places it has a grander effect.
The least effective on of the 4 I am using is still an improvement I would not want to be without. I have a full loom of Hi end HFC cables and like Norm over 60% if my system money is in HFC products. I could not be happier with their effects on my sound. However, Even With Great Equipment,,, If you room treatment, Power, grounding, and equipment racks are not great, you will never realize your systems' full potential.

I'm having a great week! Not only did my Spurs beat the Worriers and everybody else, but I've heard Nirvana!!
I don't write ofter because i am busy listening to
music, but I heard some new High Fidelity stuff at Norms house That was so beyond anything that I must write. After several hours of listening at Norms, Rick came over with all pro gear. Norms system is one of the best ever but it was brought up so many outstanding new levels yesterday.
First Rick added 4 more MC0-0.5's to Norms system ( he only had one before) after all 5 were in the sound was so much more quiet, detailed, natural, powerful, Dynamic with amazing, amazing sound stage depth - width and placement!! (I need more .5's too, I only have 4) Rick showed us how putting the 0.5's with a 3 way outlet splitter that was amazing.
We also tried the 0.5's in other outlets NOT part of the Audio line and we could still hear an improvement. More improvement closer to the Audio though.
Then Rick replaced the UR IC's from DSD DAC to PREamp with a
Pro IC and the sound was impossibly Real. I don't know how to describe
how much better it was. we added another Pro IC from pre to amp and again it was more, much more of indescribably fantastic!!!
THE final step was adding the Pro speaker cable and the sound became painfully too good to be dreamt of, too impossible.(And this is without any break in, I can't imagine what it will sound like in a day, a week, a month!) Painful because now I want something badly that I can never afford. Danger! don't listen to pros if you can't keep them or it may ruin your life. ;-)
We were listening to Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue much of the time. Amazing album if you can hear all of it.
I am sure Norm will do a review once he recovers from the shock and the system has time to cook.
I also got a new UR helix IC yesterday that is just in my system today.
It already sounds wonderful! I will report back in time about that.
Enjoy the Music friends.
D
|
I am Happy to report that the UR-Helix IC's added made a huge improvement after one day. I could not stop listening, long into the night,
to this new musical world before me. Involvement in the music and effortlessness are two of the qualities greatly increased with the addition of one set of interconnects. The Depth, width and solidity of the soundstage was another big, wonderful lift to my sound Quality.
The URH replaced an early UR prototype. I have a full loom of UR signal Cables in my system and URH or above power, so I have already been enjoying the magic of magnetic conduction very much. Going up the HF product line always gives me more amazement that I was expecting.
The URH is a Huge step up!, HUGE!! I'm getting more URH very soon.
Enjoy the Music!!
I'm going back to listen some more
D
|
I wanted to add that the Pro Speaker Cable was much louder than
then their other speaker Cables. Not only more volume, more of all the subtle clues that trick my brain into thinking it's real. |
I have been really enjoying the Ultimate Reference Helix interconnect I got last week as they break in. There is more realism that with the UR ICs,
more depth, effortlessness, subtle clues to the soundstage, more solid, natural. All around improvements that just make a more pleasurable listening experience. Another big step up! Thanks Rick!!
Cheers D
|
Wig, I just order 4 more .5s to get my total up to 8 for now.
probably get 4 more next month.
A friend of mine tried 18 of the MC-0.5s in his system and said the sound was out of this world amazing!!
He also said he would never want to hear the system without all of them again, ever!
My plan right now is to get more until they don't make an improvement.
One can use outlet splitters to put 3 in one plug and I have installed a second duplex outlet in the wall to hold more.
I am considering building an extra (3 duplex) distribution box out of spear parts I have around the house so I can use it exclusively for 6 more MC-0.5s.
One good thing about texting and blogging is that I can listen to music while I'm writing. It sounds wonderful!!!
Cheers D |
MC-0.5s, a very fun toy for a tiny fraction of what my HF cables cost.
easy to install, each makes my music more musical!
|
knghifi, MAD.... you bet! ;-)
8 of the MC-0.5s sound so much better than 4 that I am considering 12.
Better how you my ask!
Well... everything is much better... extended both top and bottom, but not only extended but smoother more natural highs and lower, tighter, crisper faster Bass.
More natural overall with much better defined soundstage, more depth and width and solid image, quieter more fine detail, more involving, more
musical, more effortless. The Magic abounds! No words do it justice.
I've been told by audio elite that my systems sound is rare and one seldom experienced in life, so to make it this much better is a real thrill.
YMMV depending on how MAD your system is.
Enjoy the Music! D

philipwu
rare earth magnets lose 1% in 10 years
10% in 100 years.
non issue |
68pete, I am experiment with simple plug in splitters.
I found a 3 outlet splitter at Lowes that i am trying that is from "Protect Source". it is green and it's shape allows me to use without blocking nearby outlets. The splitter itself sounded awful for 3 days break-in.
Bright and edgy.
But it sound better today.
I saw Rick use an old orange 3 way plugging 2 .5s in either side and the power cord into the end. it sounded great! but I am crazy about outlets and wires so I have thoughts of building my own splitter.
perhaps Master Rick should build a splitter for $500.
|
68pete, Splitters work on my 20 amp line.
|
I have been using heavy duty splitters with Silibant 22, and at least 3 days break-in.
perhaps there are audiophile splitters out there that would sound better??? |
justubes2, I hear much improvement with the .5s like described by others. I my system adding 6,7,8 was similar to going up a cable level.
I think that, after you go past controlling the obvious sonic changes with MC-0.5s or a better HFC cable... the added increase does sound like more shape and spaced and naturalness with more real, emotive and effortless.
|
I heard a suggestion about getting an MC6 and 6 MC-0.5s and using that to add 6 more .5s to the system. Something I hope to try.
As well as other ways to add more. Because??
It is a huge thrill for me to make my audio sound more real! Any slight improvement at this point takes me to sonic places I've never traveled.
The MC-0.5s are no small improvement in my system and 20 of them is still a small fraction of one Pro IC. The Pro IC is out of this world amazing and I very highly recommend them. But for the non uber rich, where the choice is between an interconnect and a car, The MC-0.5s are the biggest bang for the buck I've EVER heard. for me 8 is not enough.
Cheers D |
Ozzy, thanks for your concern. I'm involved with the radical fringe of audio called "no limits audio" so I'm crazier that the normal audio crazy that effects most of us here.
At this moment, my system sounds more amazing that any I've heard
IMHO and I am getting a new amp and an upgraded source soon.
I have my eye on a pro speaker cable too.
I have a never ending set of parameters to try and many projects I have not started yet like an overall grounding upgrade and even more room treatments. I spend most of my days listening to music and communicating with my crazy audio friends, giving and getting suggestions and advice.
|
Pete, I have a 3 way splitter that sounded good after 3 to 5 days and have seen friends use the one you describe with a power cord in the middle but, like you, I don't like plugging my Pro power cord into an adapter. My first choice was to add a second outlet to the wall, which I did but soon ran out of plug space, Second, I plugged 3 of the .5s into my distribution box. Great but ran out of plugs. 3rd I used 3 more in a $3
splitter and it sounds great ( after the splitter broke in ).
With 8 the Bass is amazing, I have more power and veils have been lifted! more interesting is the layering in the soundstage, the air, the emotion and involvement.
I heard from a friend today who has 11 of the .5s with HFC's MC 6 to plug 6 into. He said it is like standing 2 ft from a live performer and the the Bass is the best he has ever heard.
I may try the MC6 or build my own splitters out of good stuff.
I could add 6 more by getting 3 more splitters from LOWES.
And Yes, I know a guy who has tried 18 of them and raved about the sound... so I am not even as crazy as they. ;-) D
|
Calloway, Yes I have 2 duplex outlets to the wall. One Pro pc and 5 MC-0.5s plugged in there with the help of a 3 way splitter.
My power distribution box has 3 HF power cords pugged in with one 0.5
In each of the outlets that each of the power cords are plugged into. equalling 8 MC-0.5s at this time. I hope to get 6 more.
I would suggest you experiment with plugging your .5s one into each outlet with one pc in each outlet and see what that sounds like.
Warbling sound, I had a sound I describe as that once, I had to restart my DSD system to make it stop. was due to a misalignment between server and hard drive.
In my system the sound is moving from layered sound stage to 3 dimensional! The Bass is the most outstanding It has ever been!
The mids are so real, amazing. the symbols move in air like Ive never heard, the brass wow! And to hear the piano sound so real is astonishing! |
justubes2, Thinness is usually the sound of any magnetic conduction item that has not fully broken in.
I find the broken in HFC to be the most balanced, musical, real sound ever.
I have discovered over the decades that a lack of warmth can come from many components and too much bright metal in inlets and outlets ( I.E. Silver, Rhodium, Palladium ect.), silver wire can be clean but cool. the wrong DACs, Preamps, amps, cones, stands- all can be bright
as well as room reflections off glass or metal.
Sometimes "warmth" is a distortion that some folks prefer.
I feel like I am getting more of what is in the recording than ever before!
YMMV ;-) Enjoy the Music! D
I have all 7 of my waveguides up on Star Sound platforms and Audio points, as well as my power distribution, speakers and components.
I find this also critical to my sound.
|
Rlawry, I see you asked a few pages back about how to apply splitters.
Did you get a good answer?
I am using a 3 way splitter from Lowes. it took Silabant 22 and 3 or 4 days break in for the splitter to sound good.
I consider the MC 6 with 6 MC.5s and a Ct-1 power cord as Norm has has success but the cost of these 7 items and the fact that I'm without funds at the moment stops me. I may afford 8 more MC-0.5s and 4 more splitters in a while. Car repair and a Pro IC set me back money wise.
Words fail to express the sound improvement of the Pro IC.
I have trouble doing anything but listening to music these days.
3 Dimentional soundstage is blowing my mind!!
Cheers D
|
Jmcfrogan2, Norm is experimenting with a second HF distribution box.
the MC 6, with 6 of the MC-0.5s in it connected with a Ct-1 pc to the wall outlet where the Pro cord to his HF UR power conditioner is plugged. He has reported great results!!
|
Calvin, Who's widow?
How are things going with you?
|
Justubes2, I have heard a demo where MC-0.5s made an improvement even connected to non audio ac lines. Less effect there but very noticeable.
How long are you leaving the 0.5s playing before your assessments?
I don't have tubes in my system so our experiences would be different.
Cheers D
|
denon1, maybe you had it plugged in backwards!! Just kidding...
A quick look at the Triton power conditioner.. it has many different things going on in there including a grounding box.
Could be a mismatch somewhere.
|
i too have 8 and hope to get my next 4 soon as i can
|
My music is on and sounding so amazing!!! I hope you all get to hear
a system like this some day.
Kind of amusing to see folks explain how they misunderstand and misused a product then tell me how it dosent work. Amusing but
mostly annoying.
I never had a HF magnetic product not work or not get better over time.
I have tried almost all HFC stuff. It is perfect for me.
YMMV. If you don't like it don't keep it.
I wonder what others are hearing when they listen to a good audio system. Or if they have ever heard a good audio system.
I have listened to many expensive audio systems and I have heard some good music.. but I have only heard two really great sounding systems in 4 decades. Both were modern systems with High Fidelity Cables throughout .
|
facten, magnetic products require time for magnetic permeation.
Cheers D |
shill is some involved in a swindle. no swindle here. just enthusiasm.
I see reactions from folks even though no one was mentioned in my post
IF You actually read into what I said as something aimed at you,
May I suggest that it may helpful for you to ask yourself why you thought that.
As for using my name in a post full of lies, I report abuse.
There are folks that go from thread to thread calling people shills and other names for the fun of it. You know what they are called.
ME, I'm listening to beautiful music as I type. Thanks to all of those who love music! Cheers D
|
benjie, thanks for the question! I have had most of the HF cables my system and have heard them in my friends systems many times as well.
These friends are mostly audio industry people who have great desire for the best audio.
THE Ct-1s were a real eye opener to a different sound, a cleaner more musical and lifelike than I'd heard before. That got me hooked!
I have spent most of my time and all of my money pursuing HF Magnetic products since this thread started.
I have tried every level of HF products and agree with Roger
the the quality of each level is amazingly alluring. Each has taken me to a realm in audio I hadn't heard before. "Shockingly Superior" to quote a reviewer friend of mine.
In my system the power cords made the biggest improvement,
but that was comparing power cords from Ultimate to URH with cables of that same level. The Pro level is another story as the interconnects and speaker cables sound like they are from another universe!
Point is...each level up has bigger and more powerful magnets because of the theory that the more magnets you add, the more amazing the sound gets. I have friends who have more magnetic stuff than I and their sound is more amazing.
I have 8 MC-0.5s which sounds better than 4.
I know folks who have 9, 11 and 18 of them. They all claim amazement.
|
Rlawry, Hi Roger, I was looking for the YELLOWJACKET splitter you mentioned but could not find online.
Thanks for what you reported on your experimenting with The MC-0.5s.
I will try moving some of mine. I have 5 before the distribution and 3 in the distribution box.
One problem with daisy chaining these is the weight of all those 0.5s.
I have to support a 3 way splitter with three .5s so it dose not pull on the outlet.
I am thinking that using power cords to get to the outlet seems to limit the effect due to distance.
I have seen some "short cord" plugging strips that may work,.
I saw some 8 inch long "splitter power cords" which split into two that one could plug two 3 way outlets and 6 MC.5s.
I could make my own short splitter cord with better wire, and better plug and iec ends. maybe a 3 way cord splitter combo that holds 9 of the MC-0.5s!!
I only have 8 of the MC-0.5s now and I'm just paying off a new amp and DSD system so I have no money, but I hope to get my next 4
in a month or so.
Enjoy the music!!! D
|
Rlawry, I built a splitter today using Furutech power cord wire (1 ft.)
Furutech latest best outlet NFC, a copper cord plug from ATL,
a shallow outlet box. To this I added two 3 way splitters ( the kind that don't block the other outlet) orange from Lowe's with one straight out and one to either side. Just screw this to the wall and add six MC-0.5 mag filters.
They don't make 20 amp splitters that I could find because we can't connect several appliances to one line. But I was able to use very good quality parts to the splitters. This allows me to use all 8 of my MC-0.5s
at the wall outlet. more with a right angle splitter from Lowe's. I can always make one or two more split systems and add 6 more .5s for each one.
The Sound, after 5 hours of listening, with 8 mag filters at the wall outlet it seems to sound more real and 3D then with 3 in the power distribution box. Still early as the splitters can take 5 days to sound good. Also comparing absolutely ridiculous to absolutely ridiculous is harder that one might think.
It May be psycho-acoustics from a psycho-audiophile. But I will have a more definitive answer in a week. Will try to pm you some pics.
Cheers D
Ps. I would try to avoid parts that have surge protectors in them so I can have 12AWG wire straight thru for better connection.
|
Rlawry, Thanks very much for your report on the sound of MC-0.5 power filters BEFORE the power cords and distribution.
In my system that move was astounding.
I SAT TRANSFIXED FOR MANY Many HOURS!!!
With many days of break in yet to happen, it was shocking to hear such an amazing improvement.
I got a real education in quiet background as I thought my system was “black hole" quiet.
It was not! Not compared to this… I though I was hearing the performers suspended in space but compared to what I heard yesterday,
they were suspended in slight haze. Now there is nothing but the performance sitting there in front of me... WOW! NEVER heard this anywhere before!
The Bass, detail and dynamics are much better also.
Highs started out hard but improved nicely during my 8 hours of listening
Difficult aural pieces were so much clearer and more defined. I could hear individual choir members and there diaphragms. SO beautiful are the harmonies now. I can feel the Bass more too.
I well report later about the refinement after break in.
Cheers
D
|
benjie, Thank for you collaborative findings on the placement of the
MC-0.5s. I hope others try this and report their findings.
It make sense to me that filtering the power before the power cords might work better... but the sound must tell the story.
I've got about 70 hours on my six way splitter at the wall outlet.
It has progressively improved to a more refined, more live sound.
The clarity and detail were shocking right away as well as the power.
I now have to listen 3 to 6 db lower in volume to get the same level of sound as before. I think another week will really make it sing!
I'll report back soon. Thanks to those who have PM'ed me with questions and ideas! Cheers D
