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

DD, who has more HF products invested in their system, you or TBG?

From what I read here, that alone will be the determining factor on which sounds best. :^)
It might not. If its as good as DD describes, it could be the rest of the system that is the bottleneck.
I have no complaints with High Fidelity Products or their effects on my system. Quire the opposite, HF magnetic conduction stuff is amazing.
It's too good to resist and I want more, but this is a personal issue of mine.
I love the stuff!!!
And yes, my equipment isn't anywhere near as super fancy as Tbg's amazing setup and my system is limiting the HF cables peak performance. HF Cables lifted my system up many many levels.
Our systems are extremely different. Even if I had $200,000 to help catch up, I would go in a different direction. Tbg does have many expensive items I'd love to have but can't afford. Would not want his whole system though. WE do what we can. I do have many new components coming and already have one of the best systems I've ever heard. I wonder where will be a year from now?
The music is on and I'm enjoying it. That is what's important. D
