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

Widow type in accidentally.   Lol.   I was just saying that the mc 6 is a great improvement value for those who are curious about high fidelity.  I'm really happy with mines. 
Justubes2, I have heard a demo where MC-0.5s made an improvement even connected to non audio ac lines. Less effect there but very noticeable.

How long are you leaving the 0.5s playing before your assessments?

I don't have tubes in my system so our experiences would be different.

How's it possible if not on the same circuit?   

I have 2 20 amp dedicated line each wired to a duplex for audio.  I was wondering how can MC-0.5 influence the sound if not connected to these 2 lines?
I have 2 MC-0.5s (using a splitter) plugged into the service outlet that sits just next to the main breaker panel. The effect is very noticeable. Even on my plasma TV which is located upstairs on a non dedicated line. My audio system is on 3 dedicated lines via a subpanel off of the main breaker box.
To Audiophiles that are using HFC and products:

In my main system I have a full loom of HFC including some MC-O.5's and one  MC-6 Power Distributor. I was able to add some Synergistic Research BLACK Quantum Fuses to my Yamamoto Dac and Allnic L-3000 Preamp (in addition to the HFC products I'm using) and with a little break-in time the results shocked me in a very positive manner. Similar to someone trying the HFC for the first time or a major upgrade in cables. If you have not looked at this thread on Audiogon, you should because you own it to yourself and your system for further improvement:
