| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz audiolabryinth: No amount of posts guarantees superiority of thought, i.e. quantity does not guarantee quality. Nor is any one review the gospel truth. There is no arguing in matters of taste, correct? Do you remember the Stereophile review of... | |
| 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... |
