| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Has anyone tried upgrading HF Cables for phono signals, either with DIN or RCA connectors? I am using a CT-1 cable to send my 0.5mV cartridge output to my phono stage and wondering how much difference an E or U would make. Thank you. Roger | |
| Audiophile Boston pressing? I tried an original pressing from Better Records, a CBS half-speed, and the MFSL half-speed. Of the three the original was by far the best IMO. Try a few originals to find the best one. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I believe the regular CT-1 interconnects have silver-colored female connectors and the enhanced versions have gold-plated female connectors. You can see them on the HFC website. Other than that, the other differences are internal. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Previously I reported on this thread that I bought a used 2 meter CT-1 cable to try for signals between my turntable with Lyra cartridge outputting 0.5 mV and my Manley Steelhead Phono Stage. When I replaced my previous carbon nanotube Bybee filte... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I am not sure if HF cables behave similarly as some carbon nanotube Bybee filter cables I have, but have spoken to the designer about these. I do know that for every current flow in a conductor there is an associated electric field and a magnetic ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calvinj, I have an ambiguous answer to your question. There is no doubt that these cables result in music that is much faster, more dynamic, and easier to hear details such as finger plucks on guitars, voices, drums, hi-hats, etc. However, when my... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Here is my experience with the HF Cables. I have tried a number of cables in my system over the years but it was not an obsession of mine as I found cable changes to evoke relatively minor changes such as tonal balance or level of detail. I tried ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz We audiophiles are guilty as charged. We do most anything for improved sound and are amazingly fickle, hence the quick price depreciation on HF Cables and pretty much everything else audiophile-related. I do like the fancy boxes as they are great ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz The HF Cables have made the single largest improvement I have heard. Maybe it is the result of myriad improvements I have made over the years with single-driver speakers, electronics with 30MHz bandwidth, turntable upgrades, etc. In any case, I ha... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, why don't you do what I did and try a pair of cables? I don't totally rely on what everyone else reports on products I have not heard, but it is at least a starting point. After you have tried them you can then report something useful on t... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, I am confused. I have followed this thread through the years and I cannot understand why you bother to in your attempts to bring these guys down. I am sure you have some great experiences to share here, not just the usual abject negativity... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I apologize for not making my phono system more clear. The cartridge terminations end in a DIN plug, which in tern connects to a block with RCA connectors. I used a pair of regular CT-1 interconnects between this termination block on my turntable ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi, Folks: I finally reached the end of this interminably long thread and wanted to throw in my own experiences with the HF Cables. For full disclosure: I have been on the Gon for about 13 years, contributed to and started many threads, bought and... | |
| Songs That Sound the Same Another is Steely Dan's Rikki Don't Lose that Number and Horace Silver's Song for my Father. According to a book on Steely Dan, this was supposed to be a tribute to Horace. Meh. Not sure I am buying that. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Shsohis: Point taken. There is no arguing in matters of taste. I also have heard most of the speakers you noted and disagree that they outclass the MicroOnes. There is also no doubt that you are speaking of designs far higher in price. |
