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.

Just checking in for any further updates/observations from any MC-1 Pro or Pro Helix+ users.  Rx8man, audioman58 any improvements?
Also, curious whether anyone has been able to A/B the MC-1 Pro vs the Pro Helix+.   I am relatively new to HFC products and am considering...

The bass takes the longest to settle in, but when it does its worth the wait. From the MCO .5s to the Pro, Pro Power cord , MC 6 Hemisphere-The Big Pro Power conditioner the bass was always the last to tighten up and become powerful sounding.

I was curious if anyone compared a Pro to a Helix. Does the helix sound better than 2 Pro’s?  It’s around twice as much in price.

Yes, the helix is that much better. I have 6 Pros and 4 Helix in my system. The effect that the Helix has on sound is so much better. The Pros are amazing but if I was going to invest I would spend my money on the Helix version.

And that goes for the cabling as well. The Helix versions go way beyond in performance over the lower versions of the product.
