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,

For the moment, I have removed all of my MC-0.5's (20) and the 2 MC 1 Pro's. I need to get a baseline before I plug them all back in.

68pete,

Thanks for the reply.
That amount of playing time will take over 2 months! Are you sure about this?

The 2 MC 1 Pro’s that I have sure make the treble sound glassy.
I have maybe 190 hours on them just being plugged in. The actual music time is much less. Is this hardness expected during breakin?

Thanks, 3 days after surgery now. I can' believe how difficult it is to use just my left arm.
I was able to plug 2 of the Pro's in. One for digital and one for analog yesterday.

I will post more after a few more days of breakin. Does just having them plugged in to the main outlet's count towards breakin time ?

68pete,

Thanks for the information. I'm going to try a couple of the Pro's. Hopefully I will get them Monday.

However, in a few hours I am scheduled for shoulder surgery (rotator cuff, bicep repair). So I'm not sure how well or how soon I will be able to get behind the rack to plug them in.

Does anyone know whether the ground pin on the MC1 Pro or the MC-05 for that matter is actually used in the design?
In other words if it is plugged into a non grounded or 2 prong socket would it still be as effective?

68pete, lak, davidpritchard,

Thanks for the comments. I think I am going to try a MC1 Pro.

Question:

Has anyone compared the results of the MC Pro 1 to the benefit of using 2 of the Omega mats?

Both of these items are intriguing but my budget has only room for one of these items. I already have 20 of the MC-.05’s spread out over my 3 dedicated lines.

lak,

Wow! Holy crap!
I’ll watch for a used one when it gets below $1000.
