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

Hello lak, Yes i agree with you. The more MC O5s at the wall plug the better and i would start at the plug that feeds your amp. Then your front end equipment. Filling the open plugs on your MC 6 does not hurt. I saw High Fidelity do a demo with them adding the MC O5s to the open sockets and it all so made a difference for the better. But for me at the wall plug first was best.
Enjoy Pete

Question for MC-0.5 users. As I mentioned I have four on order. I'm using a WyWire PowerBroker that my components are plugged into which has two open outlets. I also have an open outlet on the dedicated 20 amp circuit for my audio system. I'm a better off having the four MC's connected to the dedicated outlet plug or into the PowerBroker? Or two in each? Thanks for your help.

@mac48025 I did a google search on your WyWire PowerBroker because it's important to know the inside workings of it to properly answer your question. Bassed upon what I found (I don't have a lot of time at the moment) can you post a link to the manual or a sight that gives me more information?

Thanks lak. The PowerBroker is just a power distribution center utilizing audiophile grade components in a wood case built by Daedelus speakers. No power conditioning, magnetizing or re-generation of any type. I purchased it initially for my home theater system to plug everything into and it actually improved both the audio and video.

Believe it or not, I don't know how to post links.....yeah I'm old! 
www.wywires.com. Go to products then to power distribution if you're interested but there's not much more info than what I mentioned. It's just an over priced power outlet center.....but she sure is Purdy :) 

Thanks for your help.
