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

Sounds like a bunch of meaningless hyperbole to me with absolutely nothing concrete to substantiate it even possible.
What a bunch of c--p.
Mapman, thank you for your personal audio experiences.
Astute! ;-) D

That's why you can't know what you like best until you hear it.
Mapman, Congratulations! You are 100% correct!

Jmcgrogan2, I like the funny statements about %. I also agree that it would make no sense to sell ones equipment to buy cables. I was thinking of selling my car to buy gas though. ;-) D

Mapman, You are all over the map. "A bunch of meaningless hyperbole" becomes
"...no doubt it sounds very good."

I will assume it sounds very very good to you and most likely would to me as well given the investments in both time and money that have been put into it. So would most systems in these parts where others have made similar investments in the interest of achieving good sound.

Hyperbole is not meant to be taken literally. So why use it? Chances are greater that it will lead others to disappointment. Its good for sales and advertising perhaps but that's about it.

Just saying.
