High Fidelity Cables MC 1-PRO

Hello drpie
As you go up the High Fidelity line the sound gets better. So yes the higher up the line you can afford the better the sound will get. You say you have eleven outlets, is this on a power conditioner or distributor of some type? I have found the more MC .5s on one power line is the best. Placing them at the wall plug is what worked best for me. I have them stacked with the 3 to 1 splitter plugs on top of each other also have a very short power cord plugged into the stack with my Pro 1 on the power line feeding my Pro power conditioner. with a couple plugged into the Pro Power Conditioner out lets that i  am not using. I  have about 25 of them on my amp line stacked up.  I also use several of their power cords which also made things better. I hope this helps, if you go to the High Fidelity Facebook page and scroll through all the pictures you will see the MC O .5s stacked up with the 3 to 1 splitters. Get as many as you can at your DAC or Source. Let us know what you did and how it worked for you.

Hello, I am hoping some of you with MC-1 Pro experience will chime in with how complete your power cable loom is with HFC power cables.  The reason I ask is although I have not seen actual specs for the HFC conductors, the magnetic permeability is clearly much higher than that of copper. Therefore, it should logically follow that the magnetic influence of MC-1 Pros, MC-0.5s, and the new Helix+ versions, should be much greater with cabling with higher magnetic permeability than copper.   

I use a PS Audio P10 Power Plant (AC regenerator) and found that putting HFC conditioners on the input side, and using an Ultimate power cable to supply the P10 was effective, but when I moved the Ultimate to power my DAC and moved my conditioners (four MC-0.5s, one MC-0.5 Helix+, one MC-1 Pro) to the output side of the P10 the results are better. My signal cables are all HFC (Pro AES3 from Bryston BDP-1 to PS Audio DirectStream DAC, Ultimate RCA to preamp, Reveal XLR from phono stage to preamp, CT-2 RCAs to mono-block amps, CT-2 speaker cables and HFC V2 jumpers to speakers). However, aside from the Ultimate power cable currently supplying my DAC, and a Reveal supplying my Bryston player, all my other power cables are Nordost Valhalla, which are excellent, but, of course, copper.  Trying to decide whether to focus on completing an HFC loom of power cables or adding more conditioners. The MC-1 Pro Helix + is intriguing, but again, I question whether my power cables are optimized to feel the effect of the magnetism. 

Also interested in your experience with the HFC MC-6 Hemisphere, which I am considering powering from the P10 and using it supply my DAC, preamp and phono pre.

Hi socall77
For me the Mc0.5s and the Pro-1, where better at the wall feeding my P10. I tried them plugged into the P10 and the results where not as good. I had my P10 feeding my MC 6 Hemisphere, with my front end plugged into the Hemisphere. The sound was good, but not great. I removed the P10 from the loop and with in a couple days of listening the sound was much better. The sound stage became much bigger-wider and detailed. By removing the P10 the sound just got better across the board.  The break in for the MC 6 Hemisphere is long 800 hour mark is where it pulled away from the P10. The drawback is no spike or sure protection with the Hemisphere and it is for front end equipment only NO amps. It should not power you're P10.  It handled my Pre amp ,Disc player. Tv, Dvd player and Sat. box no problem.
The HFC power cords just get better as you move up the line and work well with the MC O.5s and the Pro-1. each time i moved up the line in power cord the sound just got better. Huge jump for the better comes when you move into the Pro power cord. Much bigger jump then moving up the rest of the line. My MC o5s and Pro-1 are all on power lines that have HFC power cables plugged into them. With the exception of my amp which is on a dedicated 20 amp line and i use a 20 power cord for it, but i do have 23 Mc O.5s plugged into the same power socket.
I moved into the Pro Power Conditioner a couple months ago (it replaced my Hemisphere) The sound stage and sound improved like i had upgrade all my components several levels higher. I hope that helped good luck

appreciate Pete's comments but my counterpoints:
yday i demo'd the Synergistic UEF 12S vs the PS P-10 (which i own, all front end gear on it; amp hates it).
while the 2 units have respective merits, what i found interesting was that in all cases the system sounded better w/ the Helix Pro on the output of the conditioners, and a Pro on the wall feeding the conditioners. ---point being, even w/ some very fine power conditioning, the HF Magnets still add to the presentation -- better harmonic resolution & low level detail (without any negative effects, which both the power conditioners had---pick your poison so to speak. P10: dynamics constrained on amp; UEF - slight rolloff of attack / leading edge)

YMMV. 

The mc-1 is a different animal ,it has stacked magnets in a specific pattern
then two small.01 600v poly capacitors the little capacitors I get just give the signal a added boost and more precision to the wave guide working to direct 
and focus the signal to center similar to an electron microscope as a good example. That is what sets this apart from the ,05 model.
