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.

lak,

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

I recently added 2 MC-1 Pros to my system. WOW, what a difference they made. I agree with a post above (tgun5) that HFC is kind of underplaying the significant effect they will have on a system. I am not a new comer to the magnets, I have a full system of HFC products. The MC-1 Pro is just a different animal compared to other HFC products. The MC-1 Pro gave me more of a performance boost then when I added 2 Helix power cables to my system. The MC-1 Pros added more detail, accuracy, richness and realism to the music in a large way. Better bass and a wider more defined soundstage. I was not expecting this level of performance increase given all of the other HFC cables that are in my system. Believe it, more magnets = more music !

To anyone out there wondering which HFC product to buy first, I can say without hesitation the MC-1 Pro. Start there and experience the true benefits of magnets. This technology is a game changer.
I agree! The MC Pros are fantastic!!
My second MC Pro made as substantial an improvement as the first.
More intimate and revealing, more musical and clean, more real.
Smoother at higher volumes, better clarity and soundstage presents.
It would not surprise me if the MC 1 PRO did become the most popular item at HFC.
Now I must wonder what 3 or 4 MC 1 PROs would sound like in my system.
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.

I do not know about the Omega mats (thinking about trying one). The MC 1 Pro is very good. If you liked the MC O.5s you will love the MC 1 Pro. The MC 1 Pro works well with the MC O.5s and will not disappoint. For me the MC O.5s did not take long to break in 20 hours maybe where the MC 1 Pro will be a lot more, but well worth it. With out a doubt a step up in sound across the board. Both the Mat and the Pro offer 30 day trial periods.
