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

Thats great news, please keep us posted on the progress and improvements.

The ultimate reference helix on my dac has just taken things to a whole other level.  I tried to put a cheaper lesser power cable on it and it's not even the same piece of equipment.  I see why I have become such a fan of this product because it just delivers ultra low noise level with you are there type detail. I tried to part with it and the music it helps create just slaps since into me.  Lol.  I have been on this thread a long time and I know some people say " It can't be that good" well it actually is!!!  I see why this brand has grown and why the customers are so loyal. At least one piece of high fidelity will always be in my system because it's as close to the music as you are ever going to get.   I played a dsd version of the album "The Bright Mississippi" by the late great Allen Tousssaint and the shimmer, decay and air around the instruments is flat out unreal. 
I do. Music is not the same without it. I remember telling Rick how much I liked it and he would kind of say yeah, yeah, yeah. I would say for real. I have never heard something this good. I went up loom by loom and realized that it could get better. I realized that if you paid good attention to your music how truly stunning it could be. The speed of the notes are just uncanny. Pianist Harold  Mabern is an example of how the initial impact of notes on this cable is uncanny. The speed upon which Mabern can play and how the high fidelity handles the notes are on a whole other level. Yeah I know I post on this thread a lot. I'm blessed to have met Rick and hear the product. Music is a part of my daily life and hearing it clear and open is a true delight. Enjoy everyone. Don't talk Just listen.
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 ...
My MC 6 should arrive next week.   Currently using 2 Weizhi PRS-6, one for amps and other for sources.  Going to try MC 6 on the sources.
