High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz


In December 2011,I wrote that High Fidelity cables led by cable designer Rick Schultz was putting together a new cable.The cable came to market as CT-1.The CT-1 has FINALLY made it into my system!I had obtained a version of the prototype that Rick had been working on.It blew my previous reference Genesis by Virtual Dynamics.I thought I had finally found my end with this cable.This prototype delivered to my ears "Nirvana".Could I be at the end of my quest for the ultimate sound?
No. I received two pairs of CT-1 to replace my prototypes.They went into the system this past Friday.Unable to dedicate time until Sunday listening,I stole a few moments,ducking away from company with anticipation.My guest could tell even with the music set for"ambiance"something was intriguing and I was in for a treat!
The experience:
First off,CT-1 was very user friendly.Installation was simple;the cable is very nice and light.The female RCA fit beautifully unlike any I had found in other cable.It was secure and reliable.It seemed much thought was dedicated to developing a designer fit to an aesthetically stunning RCA connector.Install entailed a few wiggles to ensure what seemed like a compression fit on my RCA.
It was 2-3 hrs. for the 1st step of break in to be complete.At that point I had something different!Today,although they only have 10-12 hrs. on them,I can`t put into words how much my system has transformed.Believe me,I loved my prototypes.However....there is simply no comparision.
The clarity and sound is so natural.
The soundstage is like nothing I ever heard.Resoulution is breathtaking and inner detail is simply hard to believe possible.
The sound has transended and now it simply does not seem as thought I have speakers.
My system is musicians playing music.
I am told with time they will improve and I trust that as it was revealed with the prototypes.I wanted to share my thoughts with you that now.
Unequivocally,a testament to High Fidelity,as the name declares.
High Fidelity Cables for me,the last word on it,after 12 hours!
Truly Amazing

Thank you Pete. I will give them a call. I have an Akiko Corelli power conditioner so not sure how the MC 0.5s will work in combination with it.

Not familiar with your power conditioner, but i had a PS Audio P10. The MC O .5s worked well at the wall feeding the P10 and not as well plunged into it. Later i removed the P10 and things got better. Try it as many ways as you can and give it a fair amount of time in each configuration you try and report back.

the MC-1 Pros are very good. they work well with the MC O5s. I have one on the power line that feeds my front end and was very happy with it. Report back after you get some time on it.
Enjoy Pete
Currently have a PRO power cord feeding my Hemisphere power conditioner. Also have 2 Helix power cords connected to my CD and DA/Preamp.
Would it be better to put the PRO pc directly to my DA/Preamp??
Looking for suggestions on anyone who has similar set-up.
Thanks!!
