High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO


Just plugged it into my system yesterday. So it only has about 10 hours on it. First impressions The sound became more detailed in the mid range really opens up nice. (not harsh or lean). The base is tighter but not as deep as before. I experience the same base problem when i started breaking in High Fidelity MC 6 Hemisphere. The base with the Hemisphere took a long while, but came in great (Better than orginal) after it had 500 plus hours on it. So for now i am not worried about that. Since High Fidelity recommends about 400 hours before the MC 1 Pro settles in. The sound stage as a whole is much more defined feels sound like it has more energy, but it did shrink a little again i feel this will get better than it was with reaching the 400 hour mark. I am very happy with the over all sound my systems has since adding the MC 1-Pro and thinking about adding another one.
I did plug the MC 1-PRO in at the wall with my 21 MC 0.5s all on the same line that feeds the MC 6 Hemisphere. Which feeds my front end, TV and Sat. box. i all so have 6 MC 0.5 plugged into the Hemisphere. The Pro and the MC 0,5s sound very good together and a nice match up. Will report more as i get more time on the MC 1 PRO.

Thanks for the update, Pete. I have no doubt that when the MC 1-PRO has 500 hours on it and everything is left in place all will be very good!
Hello Joecasey
Yes there is a difference between the Pro and the MC O.5s. But there is a difference between a apple and orange, both great tasting with healthy different values. both good for you in there own ways.
The MC-1Pro is much heaver and bigger than the MC O.5s. I would guess weight wise it weighs as much as 4 MC O.5s. The Pro is harder to stack in a chain using the 3 to 1 adapters like the .5s.The Pro cost more than 6 MC O.5s  If you have followed the High Fidelity thread at all you will read that i really like the MC O.5s. I have 48 of them spread around my stereo system. To get a  fair comparison between the two, i think you would have to use them  in a system that did not have any High Fidelity products in it . I like the Pro a lot but i am not removing any MC O.5s in my system to add more Pros, But i will add some more Pros in the future. The MC O.5s really gave me good separation in sounds with a deeper black between each sound. Where so far the Pro has expanded on that and given each sound a more of a defined edge (not harsh) with the mid range and highs really coming on strong (not in your face) nicely, rich sounding. Right now i would say the 2 compliment each other and make each better. I hope this helps.
