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

I think that the new cable has an ability to define all the aspects of a recording.Giving new details while holding the fabric of the music totally in tact.Resolution is so transparent that you realise that you are hearing things that had been previously blocked but are now clear in a recording.
This cable makes incredible music that one has to hear to believe;its so intangible but soooo tangible once one hears it. If Meat on the bones is what you are after? Be prepared to feel the meat of the music as it surrounds and passes you like your standing still.I marvel at how much this cable reveals without lifting a damn finger and yet it weaves amazing images.
Is it the Best? Maybe, if all you want is the original sound of the recording! If your okay with that, then you and I concur,giving us one of the most musical signals in existence. I suspect that this maybe the Case!

CT-1U ..speaker and i/c cables...: i have both in my system now having obtained the i/cs yesterday..DO NOT try these unless you can buy them..the combination IS THAT GOOD..!!..i am sure the i/cs will continue to improve over the coming 5-7 days which will make the enjoyment even better but, as for now, the sound is just spectacular.
