| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz From personal experience - Source cable, then speaker cables, then preamp to amp(s) cable(s) | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz P- I wasn't answering your post, as you were not the OP. To answer your question, yes I have heard the MG Planus - in fact I have the II's in my office system. They are very good cables, no doubt, but lack the dynamic range/micro-dynamics and the ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz What I really like about my CT-1 Ultimates so far is that they are REALLY fast and miss NOTHING, yet retain excellent musicality. IF it was recorded on the CD, you will hear it through these cables. The realism of the music is also very impressive... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Rick figured it out - ran 2 Ultimate cables in opposite directions between Cardas connectors which accepted the 2 rcas on 1 side, with a balanced connector on the other. For each amp. Hard to explain, easy to see. So they became in essence a balan... | |
| Esoteric UX-1 V Esoteric DV60 SA60, 5.1 Music UX-1 has a MUCH better transport, if that sort of thing is important to you. Should give you better sound, but will depend upon how resolving the rest of your system is. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz On a hunch, Rick S. suggested I try his balanced cables between my preamp and amps, replacing a Hi Diamond XLR3, which I liked. We couldn't figure out why the Ultimate Reference speaker cables weren't performing as well as they should have been. H... | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Norm-YES. Also, Ultimate Reference are the big brothers of the Ultimates in the CT-1 speaker line. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz And 2 pair of Ultimate Reference speaker cables in existence that I know about. So far, Rick has 1 and I have the other. He can provide details much better than I can. I know the floor magnets are bigger and I believe there is some sort of additio... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I know the floor magnetic devices on the Ultimate Reference speaker cables are considerably larger and heavier than those on the Ultimate. I am happy to finally be at the point where they sound really nice(close to 300 hrs), knowing full well ther... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I've been breaking in new speaker cables - High Fidelity Ultimate Reference with Ultimate jumpers. Have about 250 hours on them as they are FINALLY starting to really open up nicely. I have so much more bass energy that I have turned my sub off - ... | |
| Accuphase or Esoteric? The K-01 KILLS the K-03 - its not even close. Better everything, from power supplies to transport to DACs, to internal clock, etc. Some of their lower-priced transports are occasionally noisy, which usually is a stray ball bearing or mis-aligned t... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I would be interested if Rick weren't already building me a set of Ultimate Reference in 2.5m | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audiolabyrinth:1. Before you make any more critical remarks in my direction, you really need to look up "inane" in a dictionary.2. My thoughts have been echoed by a number of others on this thread, and FINALLY....3. IT WORKED!! Look who finally go... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz $10K Synergistic Pure Silver ICs and a lot of others. Don't see the point of the question - who cares? Its all personal. Demo a pair so you stop asking all these inane questions. It doesn't matter what anyone else says, ITS WHAT YOUR EARS HEAR IN ... |
