High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect

I'm looking for some advice please.
Has anyone used/is using a High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Power Conditioner?
What are your observations?
I'm looking at possibly getting one.

Have a number of extras already:
- Akiko Triple AC Power Enhancer
- Akiko Audio Fuse Box Tuning Chip
- iFi AC iPurifier
- Russ Andrews 'The Silencer'
- Mad Scientist Nitro power cables
- Signal Ground Solutions Grounding Box
- Bybee iQSE

I'm not looking for comments from those who have not heard this in a system.

I've been running mine for almost a week. It started out all over the map, as people have said. Last nights session was fantastic. More detail, clarity and emotion out of it. I was sitting there thinking, Wow, I am very happy with this! I don't want to speak too early, but, this is one of best improvements to my system. I was really trying to analyse the sound and down play it, but I am VERY impressed with this. More ramblings to come...

aseaman007, I was so impressed the other night, I have been swapping out my other 2 monitors to hear the effect on them. So far, the Odyssey Kismets win. More listening and swapping to come. I am very intrigued by this tweek and the products they sell. We will see what more time brings.

I have mine,the MC-0.5 Sig.., plugged into the same outlet that feeds my RGPC 600, which feeds my PS Audio Dectet. I will do some experimentation after break in.

I have a 1.0 pro on the way. I will let you know the difference I hear between it and the 0.5 Helix sig. It seems that I can turn the volume up more and the detail, especially vocals, just stay clear and tight. More bass, I actually had to turn my REL's down. Again, very happy with this.

I picked up mine through The Music Room. Good price, about a year old. Looking forward to hearing it.

Hey aseaman, I just sold the .05, and now have the 1.0 hooked up to my amp only, as I just purchased a Synergistic Research power cell for the rest of my system. That 0.5 is what got me going on the power upgrade and let me hear what it can do. I just love the sound that my system puts out now. Very detailed,clear and alive. I see me upgrading the 1.0, as I am a believer in the High Fidelity products. For now, I have to let the bank account recover.. : )

I also took advantage of the sale and now have 2 Pro Helix + sigs hooked up. I also have a set of the reveal speaker cables and CT-2 interconnects that I swap out with a few other brands to keep things interesting. It is a fun (but expensive) hobby.

That is interesting...I might give it a try. Aseaman, give rick a call. I'm sure he will hook you up.
