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

  It's been 22 hours since the adapters were installed and there are changes now.  Listening to a Windham Hill sampler ('82), Michael Hedges, The Happy Couple.  The guitar has more body, resonance.  Fingers sliding on the strings is more real.  Everything is more focused. I'm feeling the music more than before. I can feel my heartbeat has increased.  It's like the experience I found using the Essence of Music CD treatment. There just seems to be more of the music there, no extended highs or lows, but more room for everything to shine equally.   It feels better, moves me more.

 
I have too used the essence of music treatment. It works extremely well. I just ordered the new power conditioner that High Fidelity just released. I'm hoping to get it by Thursday or Friday and get it in my system. It's 999.00 so I'm looking forward to replacing my furman power conditioner with it.  If it does what what the technology usually does I will hear the improvements. I'm happy to have it in my system and at the price it's a no brainer 

@calvinj, congratulations, please post your thoughts once you receive and have an opportunity to use the new HF power conditioner.

I just picked it up today.  I will be putting it in my system tomorrow. It actually heavier than it looks. It's a pretty nice chunky piece of equipment.  It actually has some good sturdy feet on it as well. I was looking to replace my furman power conditioner and the old tributaries one I have. I'm going to use my ultimate reference rhodium power cord and I'm going to try it with a power cable from clarity cable that similarly priced to the power conditioner.  I'm glad this came out because I wanted a power conditioner that was in the 1000 to 1500 range so this was perfect for me I will report out in the next few days.
