High Fidelity MC 1Pro Double Helix Plus Signature


This is High Fidelity most power full plug in wave guide at this time. Was not sure what to expect. Since i have a lot of High Fidelity gear already in my system. It really took me for a surprise,  I can recommend it very highly. It will work well with all levels of their plug in wave guides. Adding greater detail with outstanding smoothness to your sound.
I had in my system for about 200 hours before i did any real listening. I had 3 spots where i could have plugged it in at. I liked it in one spot - plugged into the wall with my MC 05s on the front end. the second spot was plugged into my  Mc 6 Hemisphere power conditioner, which i now use as a power strip coming off of the plug for my front end. This plug as i said above has a lot of MC 05s plugged into it along with a few MC 05s Helix plus and 1 MC pro.  This is where it stayed. I liked it so much I never moved it to the 20 amp line for my power amp. The increase in sound quality was not small or a little bit in any way. Note decay and drumming, where noticeable better at about the 225 hour mark. The tightness of the bass also increased (no bloat). As i approached the 300 hour mark highs became cleaner sounding with no harshness. The sound stage did not get any bigger or small for that matter. But was very detailed front to back. Like fine tuning  in a radio station to crystal clear. ( felt it was pretty good before). I will be adding another in the near future for the amp side.

Hello siddh
I have found that the Helix and Hemisphere technology takes a lot longer to break in and can be a roller coaster ride. Can sound good then the next day not so good until it finally settle in. Then the magic starts. The bass was the last to come around for me. The original MC 05s only took 4 to 20 hours and they where making a difference for the better. My MC 6 Hemisphere was a big roller coaster ride and was around 500 plus hours before it got really good. It replaced my PS Audio P10. I tried them both together for a long while, but finally took the P10 out of the loop and the MC 6 got better. I then moved up to the big Pro Power Conditioner. I do not think or remember it taking very long to settle in, My sound was is outstanding with it in place. As i add the newer Helix plus and double Helix wave guides sound just got better and the break in was quicker. I do not know for sure, but it seams like the more High Fidelity  products i used in my system the easier the break in was. I could be wrong, but it seamed that way.

Patience and the sound will improve. A little at first then all of a sudden you will hear a big difference. You could try plugging your DHPS  into the back of your Pure Power and see how it does there. But that could start the process all over again(time wise). Most people liked it at the wall.
Please post your experience as more time pass.

Iam a big fan also. What other cables would you compare the CT2 XLR interconnects to or what did they replace? I am trying to gage where in the High Fidelity line up i would need to go to replace(better) my Transparent Reference XL   XLR interconnects. Or my Transparent Reference speaker cables.
I already have-
50- MC O.5s
6- MC O.5 Helix
1-MC Pro
1-MC Pro Double Helix
1-MC 6 Hemisphere conditioner
1-Pro Power Conditioner

The system really took off when i started adding High Fidelity products to it. I know Casey and Joe, both great people to work with. Rick is al so great to work with. They have all ways treated me outstanding. I am in Ca. so all my dealing is from Audio Shows or over the phone. 68 has nothing do with my birth. Keep us up dated on how your journey goes.
