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.

Concerning the Omega E Mats, I have them installed in three different systems in two different houses. I have found that one E Mat placed in the Circuit breaker box improves the sound of any system fed by that breaker box. I think most systems would benefit from an E Mat at this location.

And since it is a one minute installation and comes with a 30  day trial, I think it is a fun experiment to perform.

68pete, lak, davidpritchard,

Thanks for the comments. I think I am going to try a MC1 Pro.

FYI @davidpritchard from your suggestion on another Audiogon Forum I've had the E-Mat in my main breaker panel (three other locations previously) for two weeks as of tomorrow 8/20/2018, still waiting to hear an improvement.

Very interesting that there is no change in the sound but I know you gave the Omega E Mat a fair audition. I do hope you will return it for a refund.

Hi All, I know the MC PRO is a winner as my 2 have brought me 2 levels closer to audio Nirvana. I'm hearing soundstage imaging that I didn't know was possible.
Ozzy- I have 16 of the MC-0.5s and the first MC PRO blew the sound away. I think the 05s are great! They don't give you what the PRO does.
I hope you do try one and let us know what you think.
They do take a week or more to be fully engaged.
Enjoy the music
