I owned one level down from the top MIT Speaker and Interconnect (XLR) cables several years ago. The HFC are in another league IMHO. And the HFC I owned was the CT-E.

Hi Pete. It is my understand the HFC XLR Interconnect is a true XLR/balanced cable and not an RCA with XLR adapters. A few years ago Rick had some special XLR adapters built by Purist Audio that I used with two pairs of HFC RCA cables per channel ...

Well, I ordered a MC-6 Hemisphere today. HFC are waiting on a couple of parts to arrive. So it will be about 10+/- days till it ships. That it includes the days for the parts to arrive, assembly and testing. Casey at HFC said he wants to give it a...

Pete, Thanks for the info. My I make a few suggestions.First, yes, please try taking the P10 out of the system (and allow some time for the Hemisphere to settle back in). I would be surprised if you did not find a gain in sound improvement. Not th...

My bad. The XLR Interconnect is already up on the web site.  
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I am not sure about the Adapter but I know they have an XLR version of their interconnect cable available. Last I looked it was not up on the web site but when I spoke to Rick a few weeks ago he told me it is available. So just call and ask. PS Ri...

68pete and siddh, I would say for the most part yes. If there is no signal (but is still plugged in) for an extended period of time then it will need some play to sound its best. Though we are talking about small changes. Unless it is for a very l...

It is not that it would not work. It is just that it would not work as well as what I mentioned.Ideally you would want to be as close to the connection/outlet as possible.By using a long power cord you are that much further away. The adapter bring...

In my opinion (and Rick's) it is not the way to go. Just go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a three outlet industrial plug. Single to triple. Below are some examples. http://www.lowes.com/LowesProductComparisionCmd?catalogId=10051&langId=-1&...

Pete, thanks for the feedback.Just a thought on your last comment.Perhaps it is your amp needing to reach its operating temp that you are hearing. Even though it is in standby it may need to be"on" to reach its peak. Of course I am guessing becaus...

So how about we move on. I have a question for those of you who have used both the MC- 6 Hemisphere and the MC-6 Power Distributor. Can you please describe the difference in sound between the two. And what you use/used them with.Also, what power ...

I do not think the "burn-in effect" is lost for the most part. But it needs to be directly connected to the finale system. With the HFC products they need to be connected in ones system over a period of time so that its technology can work in a "s...

John, my I make a recommendation about trying the MC-0.5's in your system.I found when I demoed them in my system (they were a pair of loaners so had plenty of time on them) when first inserted I experienced something similar to what you heard. I ...

Ozzy, as I said in an earlier post, you DO NOT have to dilute the Stabilant 22. Also a little goes a LONG way. I have used it very several years now, from Ricks recommendation and that is what he recommended as to its use.
