Upon receiving Rick Schultzs latest Ultra Clear interconnects, my first thought was heresy: Rick has acquiesced to contradicting his founding philosophy of large conductors delivering increased energy and detail. Has he capitulated and gone mad? I effortlessly installed the cables and powered up the system.
Immediately, one experiences a WOW factor of slam and new/enhanced subtleties in the music. Overwhelming at first; however, after ones initial shock, it reveals exponential increases of air around both instruments and vocals and more energy. Ultra Clear allowed me to lower output 6db absent any compromise.
Inevitably, full break-in required 400 hours in my system before this slender beauty fully matured. Presently, I have over 500 hours and have not experienced any changes from the 400 hour mark.
Whether acoustic, rock, jazz or classical, Ultra Clear gives true meaning to pianissimo and fortissimo. I am able to ascertain directional breath, instrument placement, guitar picks and the passing of a violin bow is enhanced unlike Ive ever heard. Additionally, Ultra Clear sharpens the deepest bass.
My system is digital, hence I have several original recordings that are not properly mastered, and with Ultra Clear, theyre infinitely more pleasant. Wellexecuted re-mastered CDs and XRCDs are stratospheric. I am discovering new passages throughout my music library. It should be noted my system remained unchanged for the past six months; therefore, these newfound details are solely attributed to Ultra Clear.
Doubtlessly, those who have experienced Ultra Clear are reading nothing new in my commentary. Yet if anyone is in-doubt about the performance of these cables, immediately contact Rick Schultz at Virtual Dynamics to begin your remarkable journey.
