@68pete Where did you buy the orange 3 way splitter? I checked Lowes yesterday and couldn't find it. Can you post a link? I want to add 4 more MC0.5s.
Thanks!
Thanks!
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

Hello Knghifi I purchased the orange 3 to 1 splitters at Lowes, here in Northern Ca. Its kinda funny, but they where one isle over from all the other type plugs and extension cords. The first time i went looking for them i could not find them either so i asked a clerk and he took me to the next isle over from where you think they would be. The green 3 to 1 splitters that are "L" shaped, where not on the same isle as the orange splitters. Why who knows why? The green splitters work well also and i have used them with the orange to cut down on the length from stacking them one on another. If you look on High Fidelity Face Book Page it shows the orange splitters stacked one on top of each other. This sticks out to far in the room for me. So if you alternate them with the green"L" shaped splitters you can get more MC O5s on the line in a much shorter distance. I was at Lowes today before this reply, and they still had the orange splitters there. I also found a 5 to 1 splitter That with using the orange and green 3 to 1 splitters you could get 15 MC O5 on the line in a much shorter distance. The 5 to 1 splitter did have a fuse on it for overload. That was resettable. Not sure if that would cause a problem for the MC O5 as they do not really draw current (somebody correct me if i am wrong,) I have a total of 28 MC O5s now. 13 each on two different lines and 2 in my Hemisphere open plugs. I will be adding more soon. Each time i have add some the sound has not disappointed me. Let know if there is any thing else that will help. Enjoy Pete |
68pete, I just found the orange splitter on Lowes website and in stock. I'll pick some up tomorrow. Looks like also available on Amazon. |
