Walker turntable owners, want a GREAT cheap tweak?
Thanks for sharing the tweak. Is this suggested for older versions, as well? 
The State of Jazz
Thanks, Wolf_garcia. Jazz is more than alive and well; unfortunately, likely due to limited and commercial exposure, one needs to be in the big cities to experience with any regularity. My observations, excluding the vocalists referred to by other... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
I cannot comment on which cable is better. In my system, for whatever reason, the HF ic is working quite well. Rick, prior to my auditioning the speaker cable, suggested the technology of the sc would likely transform my system. It did bring a bla... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Hi Noom,An odd coincidence, the one HF ic amongst a full loom of HD. I am also using P4 power cords, which I think are some of the best cords I have tried; one D9 ic going form turntable to phono; and D8 speaker cable. Lastly, a HF CT-1 ic. Each p... 
Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3

Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
I am a long time user and admirer of Rick's cables; including several Virtual models to the CT-1 and CT-1E ic's and speaker cable. A friend introduced me to the CT-1 about a year ago. The cables helped transform his system into a musically accurat...

High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Rick is sending me a set of "low resistant" speaker cables. I will let you know how they compare. With the regular Enhanced set, depending on source material, the gain has become slightly less of a concern. Yet, some material just seems to require... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Prior to replacing the HD 8 speaker cables with the HF Enhanced Rick forewarned me that due to the reduction in distortion I would need to increase the volume. Unexpectedly, depending on the recording, I occasionally turn up the volume pot a full ... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Hello Hifial...thanks for your input. I am not realizing an issue with bass. I find the HF cables to be extremely reactive to the source material, especially in regard to the bottom end. No exaggeration or bloat. Unlike the Ct-1 ics's, though, the... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
I am using HF CT-1's. Made a more than noticeable improvement over previously used interconnects. Break-in was also considerably shorter. My biggest concern with the HF speaker cable is the loss of gain. Bass is more than plentiful. Occasionally, ... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Also, have you tried the HD speaker cable? Which model and for how long? I was told by the distributor they also take 100's of hours to sound their best. 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Fplanner2000, have you experienced a loss of gain with the HF? The depth of staging with the HF-E speaker cable is of such that instruments come off quieter, encouraging me to increase the volume. Depending on the source material, occasionally I r... 
Hidiamond vs Hifidelity interconnects
Hi Paz307,I have found the High Fidelity, not so much analytical, as detailed and a bit thin. It's all there...just a little less dense. The body has been getting beefier with time. How long did you trial the HF's?
