I would love to hear your thoughts on the new Apparition vs CT-1 UR (Ultimate Reference). I currently use the UR. I previously had the CT-1, CT-1E and CT-1U. Then stopped at the UR and had them for almost 10 years now. I never went higher, so do not know how good the Helix and Double Helix were. But Rick says the Apparition surpasses them all. And it’s light enough to hang free in the air now? |
hi @agisthos , Sorry but I can't give you the detail review between the Apparition and CT-1 UR:\he time when i give the CT-1 UR and get back the Apparition is almost 2 years so memory can't serve right, it's also extremely hard to compare Rick magnet to other product as it take sometime to magnetize the system and also sometime to take out so A/Bing not possible,the time I applied Q45T and attached CT-1 UR almost the same (1 week apart) , so here my thought : 1) The housing of Apparition is much lighter than the metal of CT-1 UR, despite alot bigger, the wire seem like the same coaxial 2) The Apparition 3D printed RCA much looser than the Pinlok of CT1-UR, but I found no trouble so far 3) Soundwise I think they are extremely related with Apparition have more bass and mid bass presence, detail level the same, no change of sound signature, I think the Q45T have greater effect, but keep in mind that my system may not fully exloit the differents for above reason, it's just a fullranger (omega) sit in a 8 s.q.m room. almost other cables are Rick's invention though. |
