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 have been using heavy duty splitters with Silibant 22, and at least 3 days break-in.
perhaps there are audiophile splitters out there that would sound better???
Thanks ddraudt for the info. I will give it a try and report back later next weak. should have the new mc o.5 plugged by Sunday Thanks

The beauty with MC 0.5 is no debate if one hears a difference unlike audiophile fuses.   Whether one likes the changes is another story.  

Fuse so very component dependent.   Subtle on some and dramatic on another.   Usually higher the quality, more dramatic the improvements.

I have 7 open slots on 2 power distributors.   System is going through dramatic changes so maybe order more when it settles down.  :-)

knghifi,

I absolutely agree, whilst any upgraded fuse would usually show an improvement.

For me, the latest hype on fuses is way below what you get with these adaptors, for about the same money as the 5 fuses, 3 mc0.5 made a way larger change than those.

Each mc0.5 show a clearer improvement and the 3rd just started to transform the sound. I have a few more mc0.5s to add but need some adaptors which I need madeup.

As I ascertain, way more value and milage over those fuses, which are overpriced for what improvement they do, so a nay for me.

Recommend these mc-0.5 very highly!

As a non hfc cable user, minimun of 3 in one circuit is where things really change!
