High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz

Calvinj, my friend you seen to be having a lot of fun trying different audio devices. That's Great!!! It's the only way to find out what sounds good to you.
In my experience... components and cables need to sit undisturbed playing for a few weeks at least to hear what they can really do. a month or two is even better.
And yes it is painstaking for me to wait also.
I'm glad you are enjoying the music! D

That's exactly what I'm doing. No more a to b quick comparisons. I have a lot to report on because I have been leaving things in over a period of time. I think that people that do that quick a to b stuff are really missing out on great sound. Especially with high fidelity stuff. 5 months ago I started a system rebuild. I sold everything. I started over completely. I got an ultimate power cord and ultimate interconnects from High fidelity. I got the revel studio 2 speakers. I have the audio research reference 3 preamplifier. I have the kst 150 amplifíer. I have the Resonessence invicta dac. I let in run run for some days and I was concerned about my interconnects. I called Rick schultz and he told me not to panic and continue to play my system then after a week of repeated playback. It's started to open up. Then it just got better and better and better. I didn't go outside that weekend and I couldn't stop listening. A smile came over my face. My speech pattern sped up. The Jazz I was playing had my eyeballs jumping from left to right. The beat hit me and I was zoning out. I was in that place I have been chasing for 6 years. It's the best sound I have heard so far ever in my system. I will never be a fan of quick a to b ever again. My patience for audio has improved. @ddraudt. You are so right. I had to break the bad pulling the plug habit and leg the music marinate. I had to let the equipment get to know each other. It's like turning on the green water house in the yard and letting it run before you start drinking. You have to try multiple different albums and test materials over an extended period if time to know what your system is doing. All I know is that I was enjoying it like never before. I think high fidelity is like a component upgrade because it just gives the music a free and uncluttered flow. It's music free and clear without the blockage of traditional cable technology. I'm understanding the science more. Hear more music by preventing the the blockage of traditional cabling and lowering distortion as much as you possibly can. It makes sense to my eyes and more importantly to my ears.

Very well put and I totally agree. Rick's cables allow the music to come through better than any others I have found, by far. The longer my cables settled in, the better the sonic result. Sometimes it takes more patience than with other cables because there are different technologies at work, but the results are more than worth the wait. The neat thing is that this happens regardless of which level of his cables you are using. They seem to lower distortion in many systems, thereby improving both the realism and musicality. I really like them in my system.

@fplanner2000. That is so right!!!!! I used to put them in and expect everything to work automatically. Patience as an audiophile is the hardest thing to do. It's something that I still struggle with. The high fidelity stuff has rewarded my patience. I just get to listen now that I know my system will perform and give me pleasing, open and natural sound. I'm going to listen a lot tomorrow hopefully. Lol. Enjoy your system. @tbg. How have you been. how are things. @lak how are you?@jazzonthehudson How are things. @ddraudt. This process has been a long and expensive process but worth it.

@ddraudt. How is it all sounding. I'm really impressed with the performance of my system right now. I got a couple of hours in today. I got to let it settle back in. I let a friend check my Dac out so I'm going to leave everything in place for the next two months without ever touching my cables under any circumstances. I'm happy that I got the high fidelity stuff. That along with the assistance that I got from Rick Schultz has been a Godsend. It's really help take me to another level I'd satisfaction and enjoyment in my system.
