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

Dumbfounded! Well at least very surprised.
Lucky me, I got to visit TBG yesterday.
I came from Austin and met 2 audio friends from Houston.
Norms system the the best system I've ever heard! Truly Amazing!!!!
WE listened a lot and did some experiments around magnetic cables.
I heard further proof that the Star Sound's Audio Points improve the sound significantly when used under magnetic waveguides. All magnetic
waveguides.
The most surprising comparison was with the RCA Magnetic Adaptors on Pro Series interconnects. I was figuring that the most astonishing
interconnects ever would never need the Adaptors. After hearing the comparison with and without, I now believe that the Adaptors on the Pro
may be the most exalted position. Huge overall improvement, like opening a door to reality. and that was with Adaptors on one end only.
The Amp end. My assumption that a $299 set of magnetic adaptors could not dramatically improve a $20,000 interconnect was totally wrong.
First time I have been wrong in years. ;-) D
I have ordered Magnetic RCA adaptors today after hearing what they did at Norms on Saturday. So did most who were there. I'm interested in hearing others reports on the GEMS. I think they will sell as many as they can make.
Cheers D

I am with you OZZY, but it does not sound like it going to happen sorry to say.

Shameless plug! I have a 1m pair of CT1 Ultimates in sales section. Also have a 2 meter pair if anyone is interested.
