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, Calvinj, Ddraudt, thanks again for the tips. I'll be looking around for the power distribution PC first. Cheers.
@Johnbstiuu. Enjoy it will take your music to another level. Enjoy the trip and the sound.
Just to say that we connected a pair of the Ultimate Reference speakers on our demo system in the shop. We used to have the Ultimates for 6 months now.
The transformation was immediate and trully un-beliavable.
@highfidelitycyprus. I have an ultimate. It is a great interconnect. However the ultimate reference stuff is off the chains good. I demoed a full loom. Realism, prat etc. is increased up the chain with the ultimate reference. @Ddraudt@tbg@lak and anyone else I forgot how are y'all doing. I'm glad we are talking about the equipment and music again. I'm gonna rebuild my system a little at a time. I have to pull back from the hobby for a slow rebuild for now. Enjoy the music fellas and of course the high fidelity. Lol.
@highfidelitycyprus. I totally understand. I have and ultimate now but when I demoed the ultimate reference it was more of a great thing. I still enjoy the ultimate but the ultimate reference is a step up. Enjoy. @tbg and Ddraudt. How are y'all doing. @lak how is it sounding.
