| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz audiolabyrinth: you have completely missed my original intentions. First, you infer that the Art Dudley Stereophile review is the first "professional" as well as accurate real-world review of HFC cables, when obviously this is false. There are ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz There are numerous reviews on HFC products: the internet, publications, user reviews. The Stereophile review by Art Dudley seems flawed at best: there is no indication he allowed the adapters to break in and he has a penchant for vintage gear. ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Yes, I did take 4 MC-0.5s from the unused AC outlets in my HFC URH power conditioner and place them into a YellowJacket power block that is connected to an unused AC outlet parallel to the conditioner: 2 each into the powerblock itself, and 3 in ... | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. This is an evasive answer, at least a little, but a few years back at a local dealer I heard a pair of Wilson Alexandria V2s set up in their flagship room. I had previously heard in another room some Sophia V2s to great effect being driven by VTL... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz ozzy, thanks. I can't use those multi-way plugs since it would block another AC outlet in my 4-outlet box (quadplex). However, there are some others I might try including an angled multi-way plug and even one of those 5-outlet adapters shaped li... | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I don't know how many times I have had encounters with these. While in college in the 70s I went to a stereo store in Charlotte and heard them for the first time. I had previously lusted after Bose 901s but when I heard Stevie Wonder's Boogie On... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi, Dave: I actually have two of these lighted 12 gauge power block cords that convert from one AC connector to three using a 2 foot cord. One is a YellowJacket #2882 by Coleman Cable, which has a fan-shaped connection block, and the other is a ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz My wife says I am not trainable but every once in a while I shock her. I can just see her rolling her eyes as I tell her what I paid for audio cable containing magnets. The audiophile nightmare: coming home from a business trip and my wife tell... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I bought one of those YellowJacket AC splitters ($15 at my local hardware store) with the 2 ft cable and expanding one outlet to three. After disconnecting the single MC-0.5 magnetic waveguide that I previously had in the only unused AC outlet th... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz hifial, thanks. Looks like a cheap alternative although not really sure why the power cord/AQ adapter wouldn't work. Guess I will try what has been already tried first. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz As far as expanding AC outlets, I was noticing on the Audio Advisor website some Audioquest 3 outlet power cord adapters for $34.95 each. This adapter appears to be more robust than cheap power strips. It fits on the end of a 15 amp power cord t... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Benjie: Here is what I have found. First, in my system the signal cables made a bigger difference than power cables. IC>speaker cables>power cables. And the closer to the source, the bigger the difference. The MC-0.5s made a difference ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Abraxis, I apologize, at least for myself anyway, that you find us posters on this forum to be fanboys or shills for HFC. My intent has always been to post my personal experiences and I can assure you I have been a serious audiophile since before... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz John, I would say my experience with the waveguides mirrors yours. Once broken in, the soundstage did seemingly get higher and wider but took some time to deepen. Another thing I noticed was instruments being more discrete in space, even deep ba... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz That should have read that I seriously don't doubt the candor of those who like the changes. |
