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

Hi all. New to this thread. I know this is a little off topic but has anyone here tried the HFC Trinity Helix headphone module?
Picked up 2 orange 3-way splitters at Lowes and just received 4 more MC-.05. I will cooked them 100 hours before adding to the system. I already have 2 so hoping for 200+% improvement with 6. LOL! Going to have 3 per dedicated line.
Heebrog, I have the new Trinity Helix headphone module.  Fed directly by the headphone output on my Chord DAVE DAC, I can vouch that this is an incredible product and an excellent value. To get Helix level of magnetism at this price point is unheard of. What I can say is the level of electrostatic-like clarity and resolution it brings to each heaphone I own is simply amazing. It is easily one of the best upgrades I have added to my headphone system.
I now find myself fully sucked into HFC and there's happily no turning back. What started off as a pair of MC-0.5s, RCA adapters and an MC-6 Hemisphere that I purchased at Axpona last year has evolved into 9 MC-0.5s, a Pro series power chord to go along with a mix of Helix, Ultimate and CT-1 power chords along with a Pro series pair of RCA interconnects.  My Ultimate speaker cables will soon be replaced by a set of Pro series speaker cables.  Hopefully, they will arrive next week! Just a couple of years ago, I was one of those cable skeptics but it is simply mind boggling how transformative this magnetic technology has been in my system.  There seems to be no diminishing return.  More magnets = more better!
