| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Here is what I have found so far regarding HFC cables. First, the biggest change I have heard so far is merely adding one CT-1 cable into my system.Second, there doesn't seem to be a "bottleneck" when adding more HFC cables, i.e. the more magnets... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I have a pair of Ultimate speaker cables that have the earlier black waveguide tubes capped with silver ends. I am not sure how these would perform against the later silver waveguides with black caps. All of my U and UR IC's have the later silver ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I still say the biggest difference I have heard was when I replaced one of my previous interconnects with a regular CT-1 interconnect. Apparently just getting one set of magnets changes the electron flow the most. I have moved up the line in signa... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz One of the CT-1U IC's is new with only about 60 hours, the other three IC's/speaker cables have varying amounts of use, as do my URR Power Cords and Conditioners. I have had the full loom only about 50 hours totals, so I am not sure which componen... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I finally have about 50 hours on my Ultimate signal cables and URR Power Cord and Power Conditioner. And I can hear pretty startling changes in soundstage depth, openness, immediacy, detail, texture. I am afraid to change any of the cables in the ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Since my equipment rack sits close to the front wall of my room, I simply hang my CT-1U signal cables from the diffuser panels on the wall. For my CT-1U speaker cables, I hang these low on the front wall using plastic cable ties. Dunno what I woul... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I guess I am ambivalent about the new cables. Yes, it is great that we now have even more state-of-the-art cables that can further improve our systems. The downside is now knowing we no longer have the best at the previous levels and now have the ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I too just bought a URR power cord to place between my HFC power conditioner and my Manley Steelhead phono stage. After only a few hours' use I can hear the usual quantum leap in what HFC does so well at: immediacy, tactility, presence, quickness,... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Just upgraded my phono cable from regular CT-1 to Ultimate and was shocked at how much better everything was. It seems as if phono signals are the most affected by magnetic technology although I have not heard the power cords. The biggest improvem... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I have had the same experiences when adding CT-1 and/or CT-1U interconnects and speaker cables to my system. I now have 2 U interconnects, a U speaker cable, and regular CT-1 for phono signals. It seems the speed, treble extension, and detail are ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Deweyiii: Did the CT-1 PC make an improvement in sonics on a similar level to that of other HF Cables such as interconnects or speaker cables? I am just wondering whether my next step is upgraded PC's or other cables. Thanks for posting your resul... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I am old enough to remember when the only speaker cables and interconnects were the cheap, vinyl-coated lamp cord and I thought it was crazy to pay $1 per foot of thicker gauge Monster Cable. We have come a long way, baby :-). | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Has anyone tried the $2K CT-1 power cord shown on the HFC website? I was not aware of this cord so perhaps it is new. Anyway, it might be a good chance to try an entry-level AC cord while avoiding what was a big barrier to entry since the previous... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi, Al: I came to the same conclusion and changed the battery, which fixed the problem. So I re-measured the cable resistance and it is right around 5 ohms, so apparently John's and Acman's cables are functioning properly, at least the resistance.... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Almarg, I went back to confirm that I did the resistance measurement correctly and now I cannot get the needle to move at all from the left when holding the probes together. It does read the correct voltage when measuring household current but som... |
