High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz

Hello Friends, High Fidelity cables are outstanding, game changing products to be sure! Thanks to all who write about it here. I've come to expect occasional Troll invasions but am still surprised by the Troll Feeding. Please don't feed the Trolls. It just makes them uglier.
How do you tell a troll?
IF the have negative opinions before they hear the product in question.
If the dis people and systems that have never heard.
They claim to know something that they have no idea about. ect...
What do you tell a Troll?
Nothing, they are not listening!!! They are here to get attention. to try to feel valid. to find anyone who will interact to fill an empty life. so sad.
If you don't feed them, they go away. if not I have them axed. ;-)
For those who can enjoy music. Please DO!!!

I've been getting and making a lot of calls about High Fidelity Cables. It's been great to meet new audio friends and to see their amazing systems.
Great fun to hear their excitement about HFCables in their systems.
As for me, I await, anxiously for my High Fidelity Cables - Ultimate Reference Rhodium- Magnetic Waveguide power conditioner and distribution center. ( no yet listed on line ) when I get it back I will be one power cord away from having a full loom of URR power parts and a full loom of UR signal parts. Hard to imagine my system sounding better that it does now. breathtaking, shocking, emotional and real beyond my wildest dreams.
But I'm sure the URR WGPC will reveal a new universe of listening experiences.
I still await the High Fidelity Cables Magnetic Amp ( not yet listed) but that may be a few months away.
It has been very nice to have reviewers and audio giants talk well about my systems. It has been called rare and special. I can't wait until they hear it now. I hope you will join me in Enjoying the Music!!! D

@ddraudt. You are right again. They just want to fill ears with wax so we can't hear. Lol

Calloway,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I live in Asia. It is buy and try for me, alas. Very costly, needless to say. I have gear shipped in principally from the States and the UK and I bring things over from Singapore, as well. Singapore is great. I bought my Raidhos there from a wonderful dealer. I was lucky they had a pair of pristine C1.1 demos in stock when the D1s came out a couple of years ago. The D1s are great but they would have been over-kill for the system. It's already very resolving.

Ddraudt,

Sad Sabai with the empty life here. I believe my points are well made regarding the price/performance ratio of cables. If I look at my system and consider the components, the tweaks and accessories, and the cables that have visited my home, the worst price/performance ratio has consistently been with cables.

In the case of High Fidelity where you have high-performance cables, and this goes for so many other cable makers, some that I have already cited in this thread, the prices are outrageous. I mean $12,900 for a single power cord and $7,500 for a pair of speaker wires? Give me a break. If you are OK with this sort of thing, no skin off my teeth. But $50,000 for 4 power cords?

There is a very attractive alternative. You can make your own high-performance cables for a tiny fraction of the cost -- with stunning results. Why not give it a go if money is a concern? There is so little to lose and so much to gain. In fact, you can make a whole roomful of your own cables for a fraction of the cost of a single over-priced cable -- including neodymium magnets that run about 50 cents apiece. Ozzy and I have worked on this with great success after owning multi-thousand dollar cables. And I'm quite sure there are others out there doing the same thing who prefer to sit on the sidelines, understandably.

Now, it's true that some components may also be somewhat over-priced. But you usually get pretty good value if you choose your components carefully. You will need to change components a lot less often than cables if you purchase wisely.

It is also true that some tweaks and accessories may carry outlandish prices -- such as Synergistic Research HFTs that go for $60 a pop. But in this case, you can also make your own. I got some of the ideas from Ozzy with HFTs and mine work great. I also make proprietary DIY tweaks that are stunning. So, with some imagination and not too many dollars you can really stretch the audio budget.

This is a concern for me because I live overseas and buy and try can be very expensive. OK, I have a pretty liberal audio budget. But why the heck should I just thrown money at the audio thing when I can do better by using my imagination -- and have a bit of fun, as well. There is nothing more satisfying than making your own speaker wires or power cords that allow you to sell off multi-thousand dollar cables that were performing really, really well.
