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, cables that were not expecting magnetic conduction. I guess they will just have to get over it. Their parents didn't bring them up right.
@ fluffers@lak. I think all of the high fidelity cables are good. The speakers cables are good as well. I like it all I wish I could buy it all lol. The one thing that I like the most is the speed. When a drummer plays. You hear ever tap of the drum and tap of the cymbals in perfect decay. These are the fastest cables I have heard out of all of them. Also it is open and natural without being bright. Depending on what you want in your system I think you will be happy either way.
Mapman, I'm sorry for being cavalier. I just have no idea how one would know it might hurt nor to know afterwards that it did. There are going to be magnetic waves anytime there is current flow, so nothing is really new.
Doesn't that beg the question: If mu metal is used for the conductor, presumably to avoid the consequences (magnetism) of current flowing through wire why are magnets used for the conduction, magnets that ...drum roll...produce magnetism? See the irony?
