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

Tbg, Yes you're right The URR's do add so much more information that It's shocking and amazing. I hear such a deep, solid soundstage with intimate
knowledge of instruments and voice alike. I can easily sense the air around performers and the venue walls like I never dreamed possible. Such an alluring sense of real!. The bass is beyond solid and crisp, beyond all previous experiences of intimacy, character and inner life... I could go on but audio's descriptive words and explatives have all been overused on undeserving products before High Fidelity Magnetic Magic. There are other subjects like Love and God and the colors of the rainbow the could never be described well enough in words that the listener would ever understand an experience of it UNLESS EXPERIENCED PERSONALLY. Do I think High Fidelity IS like God or Love........maybe a little. ;-0 D
The URR's do take time to sound their best. weeks.
We'll gents I took the plunge and ordered a ultimate reference power conditioner and now trying to sell some gear to be able to afford a urr power cable to go with it. Looking forward to getting it in the system to see if it matches up to your experiences that you have kindly shared with us. Will eventually need 4 possibly 5 urr so this and next years audio purchases have already been prioritised. The dac will have to wait!!!
Sammons,
Congratulations!
Please be sure to let us know your thoughts when you receive them and begin to use them.
Sammons, Great!! I would never want to part with my HF UR power conditioner. Dramatic improvement to every aspect of music playback.
Some immediate improvements were heard here plus much more over several weeks of operation.
Yes, it will be very nice to hear your experiences with this and the other HF power parts as you discover their accomplishments. Congrats!! D
