Jimmy Fallon's house band "The Roots" rap group/band.  The public now craves it and the Internet has evolved to help the dumbing down of culture period.  I'm a jazz guy who listens to Harold Mabern ,Ahmad Jamal, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, John C... 
When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
Wow read this thread.  I grew up in the midst of it.  I guess some people think of rap as a thug genre. It's not.  I remember the wordplay and creativity that was involved.  It's a shame that all people see now is that side of it. The Internet and... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
It's kind of hard to say because that is a whole line of products you have been through. All I can say is that when compared to the other power conditioners I had it's not even close. The background is dead quiet and things are just clearer. I thi...

Very  happy with power conditioner. Low noise floor allows the rest of your system to play open and real. I guess that's what you can expect from the high fidelity stuff. Sound obsessed designer for sound obsessed audiophiles 
Power cords at ridiculous prices?
Search for the sound you want and enjoy it. I haven't heard the Jorma cords I would imagine that they are great.  I just know that the high fidelity helix cords are just so clear, open and transparent that it sounds like a component change at time... 
Power cords at ridiculous prices?
I agree the high fidelity ultimate helix has a zero noise floor and a see through transparency that will not allow me to let go of it. There are companies that are pushing the limits of sound to unbelievable heights. I didn't understand at first. ... 
Power cords at ridiculous prices?
I saw this thread I have a high fidelity helix cord so that makes me a nut! 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
@lohanimal I think you make a great observation. It is a business and sometimes creating innovation costs money. It takes time and a lot of trial and error. Differently materials in different ways. I recently tried to replace a cable with somethin...

I do. Music is not the same without it. I remember telling Rick how much I liked it and he would kind of say yeah, yeah, yeah. I would say for real. I have never heard something this good. I went up loom by loom and realized that it could get bett... 
Resonessence Mirrus vs Sony HAPZ-1ES
I have a high fidelity ultimate helix power cord on the resonessence mirus dac and it is amazing. The sound is sublime.    
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
The ultimate reference helix on my dac has just taken things to a whole other level.  I tried to put a cheaper lesser power cable on it and it's not even the same piece of equipment.  I see why I have become such a fan of this product because it j...

Spent the last couple of days burning in the power conditioner more. It sounds best when fed by a high fidelity power cable. That might be expensive for some audiophiles. I understood that so I also compared it to the furman and the tributaries po...

High fidelity mp6 power conditioner is breaking in and I'm happy that I got it.  The high fidelity stuff usually brings clarity and quiet black backgrounds. This power conditioner does the same thing. I was using a furman and this hands down is be...
