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

The Pro Power Cord has about 50 plus hours on it and its still getting better. The music is just really becoming 3D like in the sound stage. Everything is better across the board. I have to be careful the sound really draws you in and i do not get my honey do list done i just listen all day. This power cord is not a tweak its a major component up grade in sound. Yes they are not cheap, but worth  the cost.
enjoy Pete

The Pro Power Cord is just getting better and better-The sound stage has become very layered from front to back  very deep now. the width has all so grown to  the outside of the speakers. could not be happier with it.

I recently added the HFC CT-2 RCA interconnect and it was a significant improvement over the HFC Reveal RCA interconnect. If you want to hear the synergy of your system components, I highly recommend the CT-2. I found it to be very transparent while increasing the soundstage width and depth. As well, the additional clarity, dynamics and bass allowed a much more intimate involvement with the music. As one of my audiophile buds says, "...you can't miss it if you have not heard it..." The CT-2 let me hear music I had been missing on my media. Since it was the only change in the system, it was without doubt the culprit for my added enjoyment. As an added bonus, the trade-in allowance for the Reveal RCA significantly reduced the cost to upgrade. Considering that HFC doesn't advertise and has won six 2018 "Best" in show awards to include AXPONA is a testament to the "magnets make more music" HFC motto!
