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

Question for MC-0.5 users. As I mentioned I have four on order. I'm using a WyWire PowerBroker that my components are plugged into which has two open outlets. I also have an open outlet on the dedicated 20 amp circuit for my audio system. I'm a better off having the four MC's connected to the dedicated outlet plug or into the PowerBroker? Or two in each? Thanks for your help. |
Thanks lak. The PowerBroker is just a power distribution center utilizing audiophile grade components in a wood case built by Daedelus speakers. No power conditioning, magnetizing or re-generation of any type. I purchased it initially for my home theater system to plug everything into and it actually improved both the audio and video. Believe it or not, I don't know how to post links.....yeah I'm old! www.wywires.com. Go to products then to power distribution if you're interested but there's not much more info than what I mentioned. It's just an over priced power outlet center.....but she sure is Purdy :) Thanks for your help. |
mac48025 I am not familiar with your Wywire Power Broker. Putting them on the 20 amp line i feel would be best. I have 21 MC O5s on one 20 amp line using 2 types of the 3 to 1 splitters. It sticks out14 inches from the wall. I have the same set up on my other line 15 amp non dedicated feeding a MC 6 Hemisphere that has all my front end plugged into it with my TV and Sat. box along with 6 more MC O5s. Just add 4 to the MC 6 Hemisphere for a total of 6 on it. One of the great things about the MC O5s is they are very easy to install and move around. It sound like you have a couple of places to try them in. I would give them about 12 to 20 hours of playing time at each spot and see what gives you the best sound. I think the more you can get on a line near the wall or on the wall seems to work the best. Please report back and let us know what did work for you or what did not work. Enjoy Pete |
