I'm looking for some advice please. Has anyone used/is using a High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Power Conditioner? What are your observations? I'm looking at possibly getting one.
Have a number of extras already: - Akiko Triple AC Power Enhancer - Akiko Audio Fuse Box Tuning Chip - iFi AC iPurifier - Russ Andrews 'The Silencer' - Mad Scientist Nitro power cables - Signal Ground Solutions Grounding Box - Bybee iQSE
I'm not looking for comments from those who have not heard this in a system.
I bought a MC-.05 to try. Put it in outlet that supplies my amplifier power. Burning in for 2 days now. Did notice a *little* more upper midrange clarity, But depending on music/recording, the bass is a little more boomy. Is this normal for 'break-in period'? Looking forward to more burn in..
I found the base to be more prominent but also, more detailed, lower, and tighter in presentation. I've been wearing out some Billie Eilish CDs lately (I find her fun and refreshing) and the synthetic base simply growls and excites my room in a way I've not experienced before.
I'd give it some more time before you reach a final conclusion.
@keithtexas There is a breakin period of up to 400 hours according to manufacturer, although I'd say it's about 200 hours. There should be a noticeable effect immediately and over time highs should become smoother and soundstage will open up in all directions.
According to Rick, if using one module in your system, it should be placed on the line feeding the sources.
