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

I'm looking forward to reading a review or comparison written by one of the guys that have already posted on this thread (over the years) that we know has experience with the HFC products to hear their thoughts on the MC1-Pro conditioner.
It looks like High Fidelity is revamping the products. The ct-1 and the ct enchanced lines are retiring  and a new CT-2 will replace it starting in June. It appears like a up grade wave guide. As seen on their Face Book Page.
The  Pro Power Cord is sound very clean with just 2 hours on it. So far i like it and it needs a lot more break in time.
Hello lak
The Pro power cord just keeps getting better with every couple hours increase. By far a bigger step up compared going from the UR to the URH power cords. Both those power cords are great, but do not compare to the sound quality of the Pro  power cord. I still use both of the two power cords in my system, but the Pro really lifted my system up to a much higher level. If you like the UR or URH power cord in your system then the Pro would be 5 times greater or more for me and my system.
