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 been trying cables almost non stop for the last 4 or 5 years and this stuff is on another level.
And how many times have we all heard this before? And how many months will it be before the next coming of the cable almighty will appear from the clouds only to put to shame these miracle cables that suddenly make the system sound "broken"?

I suspect that such a system has probably gone through an equal amount of changes elsewhere over the 4-5 years time period. Perhaps if some of the previous cables were still lying around to be tried in the existing setup, these "new" cables might not be so miraculous after all.

Hi guys,
It's amazing to me how Ozzy and Siddh's postings about HFC have not been responded to directly! Quite incredible considering the enthusiasm...

Jafox, I grant that verbal accounts of what people hear are totally inadequate and subject to hyperbole. High Fidelity's technology is clearly new. I do have many of my old cables and have had reason to try them. They are still quite good but don't have the realism of the HFCs.
