denon1:  The MC-0.5 does make a big difference immediately and I was amazed on how big the effect is.  If this were how the sound were to be for eternity, I would gladly take it.  However, as with most products, there is a break-in.  Eventually th...

Hi, John:  I agree with what you have found and personally like the more immediate, front-hall sound.  There is no arguing in matters of taste, correct?  However, in addition to replacing them in your system again, you might want to let them break... 
1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ?
whart, thanks for the info.  So Island was the parent company but A&M either did a better mastering job, as they were wont to do, or received a higher generation master.  I agree that there are no hard and fast rules and many exceptions, but I... 
1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ?
Agreed with the RL mastered version of LZ II.  Many original Robert Ludwig Sterling and Masterdisk mastered first pressings are the ones to get.As a general rule, first pressings are best, and I generally dislike reissues, particularly the half-sp...

Hi, Ddraut, yes, I have been reading up on how to add more MC-0.5's and I like the idea of adding a MC 6 and 6 of the MC-0.5's.  I will see what Norm has to say as his break in as well.  Thanks.

Calloway, were you listening to the Byrds?  Sorry, couldn't resist.  Sounds like a grounding issue or perhaps one of the magnetic waveguides is defective.  Did you try removing one or more and/or moving them around?  I have 7 of them total, 5 in t... 
Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have??????
You are not a serious audiophile unless you have at least $1000 worth of tweaks you previously scoffed at.

Justubes2:  What you are experiencing may just be break-in of the MC-0.5s, just like any other HFC product. With mine, I bought one and placed it in an unused AC outlet that also powers my HFC URH power conditioner.  Initially, the increase in spe...

Phillipwu:  I see your point about demagnification being an actual event but this issue has been brought up before on this forum and the takeway is that it is a non-issue.  It would take many years before any minimal effect would take place and I ...

So at the risk of looking like the resident bozo again, I though I would ask the experts:  how does one go about installing a splitter?  Do you merely plug in a Y-adapter into an unused AC outlet in the AC outlet box, or does it require adding ano...

Or that should have read "spouse" instead of wife.  Just thinking about my own situation.

Worries about coming home from a trip and your wife tells you she sold your equipment for what you said you paid for it.

I have 6 total.  4 in the unused outlets of my HFC URH power conditioner and 1 each in unused outlets that feed the pc and my turntable (2 dedicated lines that are balanced power).  I guess if I want more I need to add splitters.  Each one definit... 
WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX
FedEx and UPS are merging.  The new company will be named Fed-Up. 
Now Keith Emerson is gone...
How ironic.  I have been listening to them lately and just received a UK pressing of Brain Salad Surgery.  I will definitely be listening with a different view. I always liked those guys.
