Cables more hype than value?

I recently reviewed the high fidelity cables ct-1. you can read the review on the website audiophilia.com.

if the review is to long go to the conclusion section. perhaps , leave a comment.

the value of the cables under review was $9200.

my editor removed the cost of a digital cable, which is $800.

based upon my review all cable is not hype. moreover, the affect of the cable rivals that of a change in a component.

Interesting review Mr T, however, I will still hold out on the High Fidelity cables due to my experiences with Virtual Dynamics cables. From your description, they sound fairly similar, but what really bothered me about the VD cables was their immediate presentation. They threw a very large, 2 dimensional soundstage, that had no depth at all. I felt like I was immediately transported to the front row of the event, with the band/orchestra playing right in my face. I prefer a more laid back, 3 dimensional soundstage presentation, more like a mid-hall seat.

Don't get me wrong, I would be willing to listen to these cables if someone wants to let me listen to them for free. LOL!!

Mrtennis, Very nicely done review. Thank you

@ Jmcgrogan2,wow!,, somtimes when you post, Its like taking words right out of my mouth!, you know I love the same realistic presatation as you do!, well done my friend, I also agree, I am willing to give the High fidelity cables a spinn, they would have extreme competition to persuade me from Taralabs!, I cannot waite untill the NEW TOP FLAG SHIP Taralabs cables come out, cheers john.

if you read my review I do not mention a lack of depth.

I heard solo instruments in the background, relative to the foreground ensembles.

while I would admit that they bring the listener to the music, it is not at the expense of depth.

other cables may present more like a mid to rear hall perspective. sometimes, a recessed treble can create the sensation of depth.

I was listening to a recording of the Brandenburg concerti, and replaced one tube in my Vincent cd player, and observed greater depth from a harpsichord solo.

in conclusion, it is possible to create greater depth, by changing tubes and/or other components in a stereo system.
