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

Mapman, I think that is what some hope, but I think those of us interested in others' experiences with HFCables should just ignore those such as Jmcgrogan2, Jafox and Audiolabyrinth and stick with what we had been discussing.

Hi first time posting on this thread. Looking for info on HFC digital RCA cable CT1-E or CT1-U if anyone has tried them. Thanks in advance. I currently use HiDiamond digital reference RCA cable.
Well. We have been officially hi-fi jacked. This exactly what people want. We are not discussing performance or sound or music. For those who read this thread for the music I will say this to you. I only deal with companies and audio people who meet the following criteria. 1) great customer service 2) audio performance. I met Rick Schultz 4 years ago at the Lone Star Audio Fest. He was brimming with enthusiasm about his product. We talked for an hour. I came back and he talked again. Initially it all flew over my head but I knew that I heard something that intrigued me. We ended our conversation and was invited to hear his product in his system. I got busy and never got back with him. At the time I was demoing cable after cable after cable from the cable company. I was sent his cable to demo on a suggestion by Steven from the cable company a year later. I was floored by the performance I didn't know it was him. I looked on the internet for the cable and googled his cable. I looked at a YouTube video and saw it was him. I called him and he spoke to me freely for an hour on 2 occasions and then told me when I could come out to listen. I did a month later and was floored by the performance. He was very nice and customer service oriented. A good person and a believer in God. I'm not here to push my religion on you but I'm not afraid to let people know I am a believer. I listened again and then I demoed his cable in my system. They were the most open and non fatiguing cable that I heard ever. The speed and naturalness was off the charts. I continued to listen and demo. He took his time to show me things in audio. He didn't make a dime doing that. He did it because he wanted to help an audiophile brother. I eventually got something from him and will be a customer again in the future. I don't make any money off my posts here. I wouldn't want people to be misled that way. High fidelity is really good but the people behind it are better. I could care less about what anybody else has to say. I been on an audio trip of my dreams. I have been shown the best equipment. I have been educated on how it works and my ears have been allowed to have skittles, now&laters and sprees all at the same time. Lol. My audio calms me after a long day practicing criminal law here in Dallas TEXAS. It brings me a joy and a high that can not be reached with anything else. His product has put me in the audio matrix more than I have ever been. I have had bad experiences with other high end audio. Audiolabryinth can attest to that. We we're both mistreated by another company who I won't name. Lol. Calm down kieth we don't want to get audiogon spanked for saying the A-.word or the name of the seller. I say all this to say I am not posting here for payola or other reasons. I'm a real music lover who finally found a great product with great customer service backing it. Look if your feelings are hurt easily go see somebody about that. I'm good with who I am and I don't ever say someone has zero credibility. My ear is my ear and yours hear differently. If they hear at all because if you ain't heard it you can't comment. I will no longer address the negativity of those who spout off because they are insecure about who they are. I have no issues with anyone I just tell it how it is. TEXANS do that. So that you know down here in Texas AMIGO is a term of endearment. So to my fellow AMIGOS and MUSKATEERS. We have more spots open and it is free to join. We have one requirement and that is your ears have to like the sound of the music. Happy listening to everyone amigo, MUSKATEERS or not. I will add more items in the future from this company because of how it makes the music sound like I'm there. Not because I'm being paid to do so. Thanks everyone. Now I have officially moved on. I will only post about my experiences from this point on. Happy listening to all of you high fidelty or not.
Kzhtoo, Welcome. I have heard both the CT 1E and the CT-1 U. The E was a very nice improvement over the CT-1. THe Ultimate Digital is a huge improvement over the E. vastly improved. I have not heard the HiDia as my last digital was a Stealth Varidig Sextet. I've been listening to different high end cables for decades and In my not humble opinion
nothing else ever came close, not even digital cables at twice the price.
I hope another High Fidelity friend has heard the HIDiamond your using.
