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

@yping I'm using the high fidelity ultimate reference. @jafox. What you call lunacy. I call it Innovation . Rick is doing something completely different that works. A lot of audiophiles will do whatever it takes as long as they get performance. These are point blank the fastest most natural cables I have ever heard. I've had ten different audiophile friends of mine listen and say they agree. You are entitled to your opinion about cables etc. All I know is that high fidelity will be part of my system in some shape form or fashion based on the speed and prat alone. I've stopped cable searching and going to settle my system in based on what I'm hearing through these cables. I find myself buying more music to listen to instead of changing cables. That's a sign for me. I understand jafox. I was dismissive until I heard them in my system.
Jafox, so why do you read this thread and post on it?
Because if the only people who post here drink the HF Cables Kool Aid, this would be a mighty boring thread.
@Calvinj & Ddraudt, I have just seen the prices ... $1,600, $2,800, $4,900, and $8,900. Well, that is higher than my budget, so I think I will keep looking at KLEI Essence gZero6 interconnect but thank you for the assistance. They look very interesting though :)
Jafox, So my friend, you think what you've been writhing makes This Thread more interesting? I think that yours is only interesting to others with no real interest in High Fidelity cables. ( those who haven't been axed already ;-). my vote- U R Boring and I will skip your further ramblings.
I do hope you find time, outside of being negative for no reason, to
Enjoy the Music!
