Don't get me wrong, I really like my full loom of HFC in my main system and some in my secondary system, but I do agree with jayctoy the prices for the Reveal products that start at $999 are inflated.
I don't want to start talking about the more expensive HFC, been there did that.
I agree that the sound of HFC (I've not heard the Reveal) is something very special in my system, in a good way. I don't doubt that the Reveal is a winner also.

From what I've read you are correct jayctoy.

@mac48025,
You are correct, I think the GE speaker cables are excellent!
I have used them in both of my systems with great success and am still using them.
The interconnects I'm currently using (and have been for over a year or longer, probably a lot longer) are the High Fidelity CT-1UR in my main system and the High Fidelity CT-1U in my second system.
I hope this helps? |
@calloway, I agree ;-)
@mac48025, If you can swing it go for the CT-1E interconnects. I've never heard the Reveal products but that's a possibility also. They are configured differently, therefore, I don't know how they compare to the CT-1 or the CT-1E. Knghifi might make an excellent point from above. Personally, I'd phone Rick and ask him for his opinion.

@jayctoy,
By adapters, I'm thinking that you are referring to the "HFC, Magnetic RCA Adapters that will give you a taste of what magnetic conduction technology can offer. Simply fit the directional* adapters onto your current cables and hear the benefits of magnetic conduction"?
If I am correct they will work on any RCA interconnect, including the Reveal interconnect, assuming someone wanted to use them. I thought the beauty of the Reveal interconnect was that it was supposed to sound better than many higher end interconnects at a much lower cost.
I would hope that all parts on the Reveal interconnect would be first class. |
@mrbritt,
Thanks for your response and the information that you have been able to pass on up to this point.
I have no experience with the HFC Reveal line however, I owned and use the HFC CT-1U and UR power cords, interconnects and speaker cables for several years now.
As you know you can run your power cords directly into the AC outlets in the wall or through your Shunyata power conditioners. I want to caution you regarding break in time. I'm guessing that all of the Reveal product line is still going to need at least a couple hundred hours to break in.
(As I said in another thread): I’ve learned that there are lingering effects that are present for several days when using HFC's and that might (usually does) add to the sonic signature of other power cords including interconnects that’s being substituted for the HF power cords and interconnects, etc. Also be aware that comparing HFC products to other products is very difficult and frustrating because of the lingering effects of magnetic conduction, and the slow restart up of magnetic conduction.

Ozzie...OMG!
Make sure she does not read this stuff!
Give those interconnects more time just to be sure! |
@ozzy, I'm guessing you know this but I thought I'd mention it just to be on the safe side. If you have the Reveal's in another system burning them in for 24 hours and then put them into your main system you will have to wait for (I don't know how long) for the magnetic conduction to really take effect.

@reverendo,
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the Reveal Interconnects and to spend the time you did with the audition. They are not for everyone and/or every system.
Nice to read the review from a person that allowed a proper amount of time to audition. :-)! |
Ozzy,
if I were you I would phone Rick at HFC and have a discussion with him regarding your issue and see what he has to say or suggest. |
|
@tsushima1,
If I were you, and in the market for a pair of speaker cables I would seriously consider the Cerious Technology Graphene speaker cables.
|
jmcgrogan2,
That problem was corrected with the new current HFC speaker cables being produced. I had my older HF CT-U speaker cables totally upgraded at HFC to the current HF CT-U speaker cables this past summer. A total 100% positive change. With that said, the Cerious Technology Graphene speaker cables are one step behind knocking on the door, and in my second system. Do the math, LOL, but don't remind me of the sum...please John, don't remind me!
|
John, I have not tested the resistance of the new cables with a multimeter. I loaned my multimeter to a friend and it has not been returned yet. When I get it back I'll check the resistance. |
While I don't disagree at all with musicfx's suggestion if you don't want to spend that amount of money (MC-6 or MC-6 Hemisphere) I believe the Magnetic Adaptors would improve the sound. Now the hard question to answer is what will sound better the funds spent on two pairs of Magnetic Adaptors or buying two MC-05 Magnetic Wave Guides. I also think the Wave Guides would win the contest. |
BTW; others have reported very good results using TC on the MC-05 Wave Guides.
I do use and have used the magnetic adaptors on each end of my digital cable (various brands, not HFC) with very good results yielding improvement in detail and a more natural sound. |
jayctoy, I'm glad you are liking what you hear within your system.
I've also found that the CT speaker cables sound very good regardless of what system I put them in.
|
I have not heard the Reveal products however I do have a full loom of HFC U & UR installed in my main system. I believe that trying the HF or Reveal power cords or the MC-6 or Hemisphere can be a more obvious way to hear what magnetic conduction can do for ones system.
|
Regarding my post above of 6/23/17 I probably should have also mentioned the HFC MC-0.5's also. In another thread, many report good success with the addition of the MC-0.5's.
|
Ozzy, that's a difficult question to answer. I'm not sure but I'm going to say the Reveal power cord ***would*** be an improvement.
Don't sell any CT power cords yet. Try a Reveal power cord in your system and see if it's worth the money, if not you can always return it under their trial period.
|
@ozzy, regarding Reveal or HFC power cords; the most significant improvement I heard was on my Dac or CDP.
