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.
enjoy Pete

lak,

I don't know the answer from personal experience, as I  haven't removed any of my mats after placing them. Others have said in the mat thread that the effect does linger a while when they are removed.

Thanks, tommylion, I do read the E-Mat thread also :-)
I'm keeping an open mind, possibily there is a gradual improvement that I won't realize until I remove the E-Mat?

Does anyone know whether the ground pin on the MC1 Pro or the MC-05 for that matter is actually used in the design?
In other words if it is plugged into a non grounded or 2 prong socket would it still be as effective?

Hello ozzy
I asked High Fidelity your question? The MC 1 pro would function but not as well with the ground missing and would be more like a powerful  MC O5. The MC O 5 would work ok. Hope this helps

68pete,

Thanks for the information. I'm going to try a couple of the Pro's. Hopefully I will get them Monday.

However, in a few hours I am scheduled for shoulder surgery (rotator cuff, bicep repair). So I'm not sure how well or how soon I will be able to get behind the rack to plug them in.
