High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Waveguide and Total Contact

There seems to be some kind of synergy going on with these two products. I have one MC-0.5 plugged into the wall duplex that feeds my system. When I got it initially, I was very pleased with the results. Later, when I decided to try Total Contact, the first thing I treated was the three prongs on the MC-0.5. Again, I was very happy with the further improvements I heard.


Recently, Tim Mrock, the inventor of TC, suggested I paint the outside of the MC-0.5 with it. At first I thought “Wow, that's kind of crazy!”, but Tim has not steered me wrong yet. I went ahead and painted it, in place, without removing it from the wall. I experienced an immediate and obvious increase in transparency and clarity. Initially, the top end was a little too lively, but that has settled down over a day or two, and I am now one happy camper 😀


I don't know how, or why, this works, but I am loving the results.

Very cool, thanks tommylion! I have the last generation plasma made by Panasonic in the VT60 and the mc-0.5's have kept me from being tempted to upgrade to any of the current OLED tv's.

Thanks for sharing your experience here tommylion. I have several of the mc-.05's plugged into both my stereo system as well as my tv viewing area and love what they do. I just recently purchased the Total Contact from Tim but haven't applied any yet as I might be moving in a couple weeks and will wait to use it then. This definitely intrigues me with how you've experimented with the TC and the mc-0.5's.

Have you played around with the TC in regards to your tv and or projector?

How would you compare the TC to other tweaks you've had? If there's another thread where you've given these thoughts please point me in that direction.

Just had one of the most amazing sessions listening to my stereo system. Little over two weeks ago I started applying the TC paste to my power and speaker cables as well as the inlets on my DAC, amp, and conditioner. Over the following week I would gradually add the TC to my tube pins and some fuses. Then would use it on my mc-0.5’s. My tv setup is on another room and was applying it to all the cables there as well. Last night I decided to use the TC on my Ethernet cable connectors from the modem to the router and from there to my Mac mini. 

Not sure if the Ethernet cables was the real game changer or if something I pasted days ago is now curing but holy smokes I get home today and everything is just so pure and musical. I stream Tidal a lot it sounds amazing, everything sounds amazing. I’m really impressed so far with this TC and I’m not sure I can handle it getting any better, but I’ll try. ;)

Thanks to tommylion for starting this thread and to oregonpapa for his initial thread on talking about the TC product and obviously thanks to Tim for creating a remarkable product. Easily this is the best tweak and next to speakers, and possibly an amp or two, the best addition I can remember putting into my system. Well done Tim!
