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.

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

How far are your breaker panel boxes from the equipment? Could distance have anything to do with the different results?

68pete my breaker panel box is in the same room as system # 2 (20 feet of 10 gauge wire) and system # 1 (30 feet of 10 gauge wire).

lak,

do you by any chance have ERS cloth on or around you breaker panel? It seems from ozzy’s experience that the cloth can interfere with the effect of the mat. Also, Bybee QSEs and iQSEs don’t mix well with the mat.

@tommylion,
No, just my breaker panel.
Today makes two weeks in the same location so maybe after today when I do some additional listening I'll detect something.
BTW; can anyone tell me when I remove the E-Mat if it was doing something that I missed over the two week period in the breaker box, would removeing it give me an emidate difference in sound, or does it take a while?
