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

Hi ALL, someday someone will compare the top of the two lines to give us at least one opinion the includes HEARING them.
I check in on another threads where folks constantly talk about products they have no experience with. sometimes it's funny but mostly this mental masterbation is annoying. I think audio labyrinth is ok, I like him because he understands High end buying ext. but without hearing the HF cable put this friend out of the picture in these discussions. Keith,
I hope you get to hear HF UR some time or at least a power cord so you have some idea of the technology difference that I call game changing.
You most likely hope I hear what you love also.
bottom line.. enjoy the music

@everyone. I have listened to the High Fidelity best cables and they are in my opinion very special. Cutting edge because of how many different cables I have listened to. I will talk to anyone on the threads. I welcome all suggestions of cables that compare. I am so impressed with high fidelity ultimate reference. It is currently in my system on demo right now. I have to admire a cable company that is confident to know that if you put it in you are hooked and you won't want to take them out!!! They are that good. @ u know who. I might be blind but I will be happy as long as my hearing doesn't go. Lol. I want this audio bliss to continue. Lol. @audiolabryinth. I listen to post and I read and comment sometimes. I think you shouldn't care what people say. I think you should save your ears for the music. Try some of this High Fidelity ultimate reference and you will never be the same. I'm happy with my sound. I will talk to anyone and everyone on the thread. We get it. Tara labs does it for you. I wish you could try this High fidelity ultimate reference stuff. Just flat out naturally good. I have heard audio systems that retail at more than 200,000 bucks. I love this hobby and I love when a product does something special. This cable does that. I also understand that we have our preferences and we spend a lot of time in this hobby comparing things. Continue you to be who you are and talk to who you want where you want. Talk about what you want. @tbg and Ddraudt. The high fidelity power cords caused a big jump in performance on my amplifier. Has that been your experience?
