| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? Worries about coming home from a trip and your wife tells you she sold your equipment for what you said you paid for it. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I have 6 total. 4 in the unused outlets of my HFC URH power conditioner and 1 each in unused outlets that feed the pc and my turntable (2 dedicated lines that are balanced power). I guess if I want more I need to add splitters. Each one definit... | |

| Now Keith Emerson is gone... How ironic. I have been listening to them lately and just received a UK pressing of Brain Salad Surgery. I will definitely be listening with a different view. I always liked those guys. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 68pete: I have added 3 of the MC-0.5s to my system. The first was added to an unused AC outlet that also feeds my HFC URH power conditioner, i.e. it is added in parallel to the PC. I then added 2 more MC-0.5s to unused outlets on the conditione... | |
| Preferred pressing of The Doors: LA Woman LP For a long time I actually preferred the DCC CD as it had bass and dynamics that I could not find in various LP pressings, including the DCC that sounds bland and undynamic like almost all DCC pressings. I recently bought an Elektra white label p... | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz According to HFC and on their website, the use of strong magnets in the RCA connectors often draws metallic debris, which causes electrical shorts and shunts part of the signal voltage to ground. I have never experienced this in the past with oth... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I recently bought a new pair of CT-UR interconnects and when I replaced the U's I previously had, the right channel was down significantly. So I called HFC and they recommended cleaning the cable connectors, which fixed the problem. Using the St... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I have found my one MC-0.5 to go through the same process as that described by others here. Initially, plugged into an unused outlet on the same circuit feeding my HFC URH power conditioner, at first I heard an amazing improvement in speed, dimen... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz knghifi, I would be pretty surprised if your equipment were using a 10 amp draw. At 120V, that is 1200 watts, i.e. 1.2 kW. Front-end equipment and preamps use little current. Unless your amps are heavily biased into Class A (they run full-out a... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps I had a pair of Fourier Panthere monoblocks with 8 6C33C Russian military triodes each that powered a pair of Essence Super Gem and later Wilson Sophia speakers through an autoformer. When things were right, the sound was glorious. Not the lean,... | |
| In Memory of Glenn Frey...Favorite Eagles song? For the Eagles in the prime: The Last Resort. For newer Eagles: Waiting in the Weeds. Why the Eagles were never credited for The Long Road Out of Eden must have been due to limited advertisement and distribution. Some of the music on this dis... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz John, I agree on the current limiting. I tried several conventional power conditioners and they all seemed to do the requisite audiophile thing: better transparency and detail but sucked the life out of music and limited dynamics, perhaps throug... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz From my somewhat limited knowledge of electricity (I am a chemical and biomedical engineer and somehow survived EE class), 10 amps would translate to about 1200 watts. From looking at the 3 pieces I power from my HFC URH power conditioner, it onl... |
