Thanks for the update, Pete. I have no doubt that when the MC 1-PRO has 500 hours on it and everything is left in place all will be very good!
High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO
Just plugged it into my system yesterday. So it only has about 10 hours on it. First impressions The sound became more detailed in the mid range really opens up nice. (not harsh or lean). The base is tighter but not as deep as before. I experience the same base problem when i started breaking in High Fidelity MC 6 Hemisphere. The base with the Hemisphere took a long while, but came in great (Better than orginal) after it had 500 plus hours on it. So for now i am not worried about that. Since High Fidelity recommends about 400 hours before the MC 1 Pro settles in. The sound stage as a whole is much more defined feels sound like it has more energy, but it did shrink a little again i feel this will get better than it was with reaching the 400 hour mark. I am very happy with the over all sound my systems has since adding the MC 1-Pro and thinking about adding another one.
I did plug the MC 1-PRO in at the wall with my 21 MC 0.5s all on the same line that feeds the MC 6 Hemisphere. Which feeds my front end, TV and Sat. box. i all so have 6 MC 0.5 plugged into the Hemisphere. The Pro and the MC 0,5s sound very good together and a nice match up. Will report more as i get more time on the MC 1 PRO.
enjoy Pete

@68pete now you need to audition is new product: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis93ad5-high-fidelity-cables-professional-elite-power-conditioner... |
Although I have not tried or heard the MC 1 Pro that's the route I'd recommend especially since you like the MC-0.5's. I've demoed one E-Mat for about 30 days and although many report excellent results with it, I've not heard any improvement in my systems. Seems like a lot of money for a single E-Mat ($600) and the suggestions from the audiophiles that have good results seems to be you need more than one E-Mat... |
@tommylion, No, just my breaker panel. Today makes two weeks in the same location so maybe after today when I do some additional listening I'll detect something. BTW; can anyone tell me when I remove the E-Mat if it was doing something that I missed over the two week period in the breaker box, would removeing it give me an emidate difference in sound, or does it take a while? |
I don't have a Pro 1 but I own and use most other HFC higher end cables, 0.5's, MC-6 and Hemisphere. I would think the best place to plug in the Pro would be the wall outlet. I've been told it's somewhat different than the 0.5's and works best from the wall outlet. With that said there's absolutely nothing wrong with experimentation ;-) |
