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, has anyone tried connecting their audio gears to Balanced power conditioners using HFC power cables?   i'm curious about the current flow direction in neutral and ground wires in HFC cables?
Does using Balance power circuit to power your audio equipments defeat the benefits provided by HFC magnetic conduction technologies,
thank you for any opinions.

Hi philipwu
Good question, maybe you should ask Rick at HF and follow up here with a post.

Guys,

What's the sweet spot for the number of MC-05 to put in a system? I have 1 so far and things are cleaner and more open...

Thanks,

Wig, I just order 4 more .5s to get my total up to 8 for now.
probably get 4 more next month.
A friend of mine tried 18 of the MC-0.5s in his system and said the sound was out of this world amazing!!
He also said he would never want to hear the system without all of them again, ever!
My plan right now is to get more until they don't make an improvement.
One can use outlet splitters to put 3 in one plug and I have installed a second duplex outlet in the wall to hold more.
I am considering building an extra (3 duplex) distribution box out of spear parts I have around the house so I can use it exclusively for 6 more MC-0.5s.
One good thing about texting and blogging is that I can listen to music while I'm writing. It sounds wonderful!!!
Cheers D
