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

@calvinj, I wondered where you disappeared to?
Good to see that you are still around!
Doing great. Got bummed a little. My closest audiophile buddy died and I got a little bummed out but I'm back. I missed the music. It is my meds. 
calvinj - my condolences. I lost an audiophile friend of 30 years last year. Went to a lot of CES's with him and he was always bringing new music by. Glad you found your way back.
Anyone know whether the burn-in on the MC-0.5 requires music to be running? I assume that since the magnetism is traveling through the power lines that there doesn't need to be an audio signal for them to "settle down" - just hours in the line (?) Just added 2 more and it's sounding pretty rough over the last 3 hours. Probably didn't help that the electric company changed poles/lines at the end of our subdivision and power was off for 5 hours today.

Yes they need music playing or something drawing current at where they are plugged into.  Power being off did not help. Mine where good right at the start but got better with about 20 hours of use time on them. Some users claim they need 50 plus hours before they sounded good. How are you using them in your system?
