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

Jcaudio..could not agree more. i am on day 6 and they are absolutely amazing. one of the designers of my amps was over tonight and he could not believe how superb the system sounds with the 'ultimates. he thinks these cables have made...next to his amps..the biggest change in my system's sound.i could not agree more..the weight of the music..the incredible decay of notes...the pinpoint focus ....the 3-d soundstage..everything is significantly improved...
I have had numerous emails regarding what the Wave Stabalizers look like on the Ultimate Speaker Cables.
I will post some pictures on my website tonight at following link

Best guess will be about 8:00 pst.

I think they are pretty cool looking
I am accidently running the I/C and nothing has ever changed my system so dramtically!The sense of scale ,dynamics, and resolution that is so profoundly evocative.Hearing music that has the deepest sense of resolution but with air to spare,my Martin logan clsz defy some of the images that are created:because they seem to have no beginning or end to images.This new magnetic Wave stabiliser connector brings some thing new to the dynamic envelope, offering up musical delights that just brings smiles to your face( 4 days of break in so far.
Bass lines that float and dance right in front of you and then move past you.Jl fathoms in stereo drive by the Presense Audio 4.0 preamp into the Sim audio W-5Limited Ed. amp.
Leading the charge is a Wadia S-7I Gnsc Shultz power module and further refining Avanced Vibration control all sitting on custom RS Brass stands.
From the sounds of the system is truly breathe taking, because, of the naturalness that is imparted to the system, making a huge sense of scale that is in the music but only hinted at with other cables.Dynamics are so alive that there is no doubt about the dynamic envelope that seem to stretch endlessly.I have never experienced such a dramatic and profound musical experience from any other R Shultz designed cables.My hat is off to Rick the Madman Shultz for designing like no other Designer I have ever Believed in!!!Kudos and Thanks Mr.Shultz
This new and unique design looks promising. Here is my question guys:
All of you said something like this - transparent + dynamic + detailed + alive + extended highs + great imaging.. In my experience this adjectives are similar to Nordost Valhalla sound. What about texture, tonal color, meat on the bones?
