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

Whoops, I meant that for Ddraudt, not Jafox.

Dd seems to attribute EVERYTHING he hears to this product. WHo's to say for sure or not, but that's usually a red flag for me.

... is it possible that both the product and your perceptions are both changing?
Not to mention the possibility that something else altogether is changing, in the system or its environment. E.g., ongoing aging or breakin of components, seasonal changes in temperature or humidity (see this post, for example), changes in AC line voltage or noise conditions, etc.

As I've said in a number of past threads, in audio it is very easy to attribute a perceived change to the wrong variable.

IMO. Regards,

Geoff, I must apologize for the Troll invasion on this thread. They will be gone soon. as suggested in an earlier post, don't bother reading anything from Mapman, Jafox or Jmcgrogan2 as they don't have or don't care about audio systems and are just trolling for attention.
Like so many before them, they will be banned, say goodbye children!
And for those are actually on this thread for info on High Fidelity Cables, Welcome!! and I hope your enjoying the music.
For those of you who actually have HFCables, I know you're enjoying the music like never before!!! Cheers D

Al, hi, do you have an audio system? if you had heard these cables i'm sure you wouldn't be wasting all our time. I'm sure plenty of threads love to discuss perceived change but we are into actual change here so I suggest you my be on the wrong thread.

Magnets attract or repel electrons but unfortunately not the audio signal since the signal is not electrons. Follow?
