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

@jmcgrogan2 your set up sounds like it was done right. After some break-in time please post your findings...always something I can learn ;-)

@mac48025 thanks, that's the information I was looking for. I agree with 68pete, I'd put the MC-0.5's on the opening in your wall outlet going to your WyWire PowerBroker. Because your WyWire PowerBroker is high-quality components, with good individual outlet wiring with no interference from any built-in surge protector or suppressor the MC-05's will work well for you. Be sure to allow plenty of time for break-in, also remember should you remove them to audition them in another location there is a lingering effect (magnetic conduction) when removed, could take a couple days for the music to return to normal and always a break-in period when moved to a different location. That's magnetic conduction.
Thanks Pete. I have an old PS Audio distributor with 6 outlets that I can use for now. It's just outlets, no conditioning or regeneration. I'll plug all four MC-0.5's into that and plug the PS Audio into the wall outlet.

Good idea with your rack and buying b-stock units. I took advantage of their current sale.....doubt I'll ever catch up to you though!

I should have them next week and I'll pass my results along. 
Thanks lak. I'll do as you and Pete suggest. I'm using CT-1 interconnects so I'm familiar with the time it takes for the magnetic properties to fully work. Im breaking in a new pair of speakers right now, so I'm in no rush. 
Hey I haven’t heard the reveal line yet anyone what are your impressions?
