| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Benjie: Here is what I have found. First, in my system the signal cables made a bigger difference than power cables. IC>speaker cables>power cables. And the closer to the source, the bigger the difference. The MC-0.5s made a difference ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Abraxis, I apologize, at least for myself anyway, that you find us posters on this forum to be fanboys or shills for HFC. My intent has always been to post my personal experiences and I can assure you I have been a serious audiophile since before... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz John, I would say my experience with the waveguides mirrors yours. Once broken in, the soundstage did seemingly get higher and wider but took some time to deepen. Another thing I noticed was instruments being more discrete in space, even deep ba... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz That should have read that I seriously don't doubt the candor of those who like the changes. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz denon1: The MC-0.5 does make a big difference immediately and I was amazed on how big the effect is. If this were how the sound were to be for eternity, I would gladly take it. However, as with most products, there is a break-in. Eventually th... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi, John: I agree with what you have found and personally like the more immediate, front-hall sound. There is no arguing in matters of taste, correct? However, in addition to replacing them in your system again, you might want to let them break... | |
| 1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ? whart, thanks for the info. So Island was the parent company but A&M either did a better mastering job, as they were wont to do, or received a higher generation master. I agree that there are no hard and fast rules and many exceptions, but I... | |
| 1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ? Agreed with the RL mastered version of LZ II. Many original Robert Ludwig Sterling and Masterdisk mastered first pressings are the ones to get.As a general rule, first pressings are best, and I generally dislike reissues, particularly the half-sp... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi, Ddraut, yes, I have been reading up on how to add more MC-0.5's and I like the idea of adding a MC 6 and 6 of the MC-0.5's. I will see what Norm has to say as his break in as well. Thanks. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calloway, were you listening to the Byrds? Sorry, couldn't resist. Sounds like a grounding issue or perhaps one of the magnetic waveguides is defective. Did you try removing one or more and/or moving them around? I have 7 of them total, 5 in t... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? You are not a serious audiophile unless you have at least $1000 worth of tweaks you previously scoffed at. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Justubes2: What you are experiencing may just be break-in of the MC-0.5s, just like any other HFC product. With mine, I bought one and placed it in an unused AC outlet that also powers my HFC URH power conditioner. Initially, the increase in spe... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Phillipwu: I see your point about demagnification being an actual event but this issue has been brought up before on this forum and the takeway is that it is a non-issue. It would take many years before any minimal effect would take place and I ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz So at the risk of looking like the resident bozo again, I though I would ask the experts: how does one go about installing a splitter? Do you merely plug in a Y-adapter into an unused AC outlet in the AC outlet box, or does it require adding ano... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? Or that should have read "spouse" instead of wife. Just thinking about my own situation. |
