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

Petisboy 12003...can't say for sure but after i audition the CT-1U for a few weeksand and find it superior, i will be selling my CT-1E 1.5m RCA cable...
Hey guys, Jonas Harrow(Oz) will hook me up with some IC`s to audition. I have already received some personal mails regarding the IC`s. Not to worried about IC atm.
I`m well covered in this area. Mainly the speaker cable I am interested in. My system doesn`t require long lengths either.
So if anyone has any more thoughts regarding the SC then I`m surely interested. Specifically the E version. Anyone planing to move up to the U in the near future?

Thanks Calloway. Yes seems there are many `E` version IC`s around. I have had a few offers and noticed quite a few on the net. Some good prices. Can get here in kanguru land good price from Jonas too.
More interested in the `E` speaker cables atm though.
Hi Fellow members, I wanted to let all of you here know that the audiogon used interconnect market is flooded with the High-Fidelity cables currenty, I just looked on there today, It seems you can get any model you want at a substantial savings!, Good luck and Happy hunting!
Audiolabyrinth you are right...after a 1/2 dozen supports rave about this cable now the true test comes and many are selling off saying they are moving up the line! Yeah right.
What will be the next "Oh my go*" cable of the month? Wait time will tell.
