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

Mapman,
DNM could certainly be an excellent cable, higher price in audio does not always equal better, no question. Lower cost systems can outperform more expensive ones sometimes. I just would not worry about how others allocate their money was my point.

Calvin, Great description of How High Fidelity cables work in your system!
You set a fine example. I have been noticing how wonderful piano sounds lately. One of the most complex collection of sounds, piano is, to me, the most difficult instrument to reproduce faithfully. High Fidelity cables speed and control, naturalness, dynamics both macro and micro, imaging and effortlessness allow amazing and previously unheard piano beautifulness!!
I agree that those who have not heard have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of value to say here. "A fool knows the price of everything and the value of nothing"
So happy you are having fun with it. DDD

Mcgrog map, Thanks for you wonderful insights into High Fidelity Cable.
" They may sound good but they are expensive." pearls of wisdom!! thanks.
I sure you comments about who you imagine I am have helped us all. good.
Do not worry if you have become the joke of this blog. You have stuck to you guns and have continued to come here and say nothing at all useful.
I applaud the courage and integrity you have shown over and over and over and over again. I've heard that there are other threads aching for your input
on stuff you are unfamiliar with. ;-) DDD
