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

MC pro helix +
I want to say that i have been enjoying the break in of my MC Pro Helix +
very much. As others have mentioned, My system just keeps getting better without me doing anything but listening. Great fun to hear the bass get deeper and more dynamic, the soundstage get more pronounced, the micro dynamics become more refined.
Such a huge improvement with a simple plug in device. Lifted my system to a whole other dimension.
MC 0.5 Helix
several friends and I got to try one or more of the new MC 0.5 Helix plug in power filter and all of us liked the improvement very much. Another winner at a lower price.
Enjoy the music

Thought that this forum is for sharing experiences with other audiophiles but unfortunately only positive feedbacks are allowed and no remarks on bad experiences!

Tammy -- I read the original post by @maragoo and felt that it was a well written description of a legitimate complaint. While whomever asked for it to be removed may have their reasons it does not serve AudioGon, nor High Fidelity well to appear to be so defensive or attempting to "hush things up" 

At minimum if the removal is to stand a positing from HFC saying why they took this step "we're sorry XYZ had a bad experience and we are working to resolve it" would be appropriate -- and if someone else asked for the post to be removed I ask that it be put back as there was nothing in it that in any way contravened any of AudioGons terms
