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

Has anyone listened to or are there any reviews out there of any of the new Reveal High Fidelity Cables and how they sound compared to the original CT-1 etc.  just curious?
There is a separate and dedicated thread called: High fidelity REVEAL interconnects. There is a smattering of discussion from a couple of early adaptors there. I don't think HFC is in regular production of the Reveal line yet.   
I was thinking number of waveguides is a function to length of the cable.  Basically longer the cable more waveguides, otherwise shorter cable has superior performance??

I was going to try Reveal speaker cables with option to add additional waveguides.  Last I check option will not be available so count me out.
I Tried the Power Cube with the MC 05s and it did not workout  at all. The Power Cube blocks part of the wall plug that makes the second outlet unusable. I tried using  a very short power cord and the Power Cube.  MC O5s do not plug into it very well. I could not get the MC O5s to plug in flush with the Power Cube. The prongs on the MC O5 seam to be to long and left a quarter inch gap or more exposed at the plug. I did find another 3 to1 plug, that is "L" shaped. Which would make the MC O5s point straight up or down depending on the ground plug of the socket you where plugging it into.  Using this 3 to 1 spliter and using the original orange colored 3 to 1 spliter allowed me to add 6 more MC O5s to each of my power lines. This keeps the MC O5s from sticking out to far from the original wall plug. With a total of 13 MC O5s on 2 power lines (total of 28 MC O5s in my system).  Yes the sound did improve again across the board.
I would really like to try out a High Fidelity power cord at the Reference level or Ultra Reference level. But for this i would have to get the wife on board and she would have to step up as a big team player and sell a Kidney or Lung to make it affordable. That does not look like its going to happen real soon so i will keep adding the MC O5s to my system until i reach the point of diminishing returns.  The MC O5s the affordable tweak that really works.
