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 put mine in my power strip.
Having read lots of comments decided that was the best place for it to go.
Have contacted Bob.
Will replace the Nitro with the Nitro Nano, after I pay for some Black Ravioli pads.
These all sound promising. Thanks.
And I'm keen to try an MC 0.5
Like the idea of lower noise floor, more realistic instruments.
And more analogue.

With my above tweaks (Akiko etc), the sound has improved greatly over the past 12 months. Improved soundstage, quieter, better instrument separation, richness of the sound, and less digital.

I'm trying to eek out the best I can, from what I have.
Not a 'high end' system, but does have a sound I like.

I only have two power points, in a small cupboard.
One for the amp using the Mad Scientist Nitro.
The other has a second Mad Scientist Nitro hard wired to an Eichmann power strip. The MC 0.5 would plug into the Eichmann.

I'm guessing would still have a positive effect.
I only have space for one MC 0.5
That’s probably a good thing.
Still have to pay for Black Ravioli, and upgrade to 2 Mad Scientist Nitro Nano power cables.

Where is best for the MC 0.5?
In the ’2 outlet’ power socket?
Then would have to run the amp through the power strip.

(Power strip also has the Dac power supply, Akiko Triple AC Power Enhancer, Russ Andrews ’The Silencer,’ iFi AC iPurifier, Blu Ray player).
I bought a B Stock 0.5

Is playing now.
A nice start.
More detail is instant.

Have three Bybee iQSE.
One in my fusebox, one in amp, one in Dac.
Looking for one more, to go in my Dac power supply.
My 1 x MC-0.5 is due to arrive this afternoon.
A major delay on shipping from the USA.
It was my carrier's mistake.
High Fidelity Cables were very supportive through this.

Have jealously read the positive comments on their effect in your systems.
