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

Mapman..'DD' is under no obligation to explain anything to you or anyone else.Get over it!!!The forum heading is about the cables..not about who is affiliated or not with the company.Take your attidude somewhere else.
Long time lurker first time poster and as this thread is so entertaining I cant resist posting my thoughts although in hindsight they will probably be shot to pieces. I'm from NZ so I can't possibly have any connections to dealers or manufacturers. I currently have a full loom of HFC cables having rather cautiously agreed to buy a pair of enhanced speaker cables from overseas a year ago. Before the cables were sent the dealer offered me a pair of used ultimates at a very favourable price. So my first piece was a 2.5m ultimate speaker cables that were well run in. To say I was impressed is the understatement of the year and what I originally thought was a highly risky and impulsive buy soon turned into an absolute bargain in terms of the dollars I've spent on speakers and equipment upgrades. 3 ultimate interconnects soon followed. Today I received my ultimate reference speaker cables and 1 pair of ur interconnects which I've had in the system for the last 5 hours. Again my partner and I have been amazed at the improvement straight out of the box and which will I'm sure improve during the running in. They may be expensive but they have done wonders for my hiend setup.
"Swampwalker, just a quick point about positrons that I mentioned in my previous post. Although they do exist, they are only produced during very specific radioactive decay processes. They are not in natural abundance and would likely not be involved in the effect described."

More to the point positrons and electrons are self annihilating.

Cheers, GK
Sammons..thanks for your post.it is great to hear your experience with the HF cables.it mirrors what a lot of we cable junkies have, fortunately, also discovered.
