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

TBG Is correct! I am sorry, I got quite excited of the discussion about High-fidelity cables!,The ct-1 ultimate cable!, yes, I believe thats the cable coming soon!, TBG, The cable cable company said, That a balanced cable is in the R&D, There is no prototype as you said, simply in the works, Charles1dad, Thats exactly what the cable company said,LOL!, A natural sound!, Thankyou TBG and charles1dad for giving me the time of day to talk to me!, Its hard for some members to accept someone new!, I am a new member to audiogon, So if it seems out of the ordinary, please excuse me and have patience with me, I try to carry my self like a gentleman, but at times I get excited!,, Happy listening!
@ charles1dad,, I have a Krell 700cx amplifier, This is the amp to my main system, The amp only has XLR and Krell cast connections!,The good news is I am building a second system!, Thats where I would like to try High-fidelity cables!, The synergy with Tara, Krell,Ayon,JBL,, is on the main system is really something to behold!,I am quite happy with that system synergy!,, still in all,if rick comes out with balanced cable, I wont only try his RCA cables for a second system, I will try his balanced cable on the main system when he develops balanced cable!,, Happy listening!
Audiolabyrinth:

1. Before you make any more critical remarks in my direction, you really need to look up "inane" in a dictionary.

2. My thoughts have been echoed by a number of others on this thread, and FINALLY....

3. IT WORKED!! Look who finally got somewhat proactive and now knows a lot more than from just asking forum questions....

4. You really should thank me, instead of being upset. I think I did a good deed and did you a favor, whether you realize it or not. :-)
I am using Siltech cable in my system and I am very happy. It would be nice to compare the high fidelity cables to these, but he does not have balanced cables yet.
@ Fplanner2000, upset? what are you talking about?, I am not upset, now or then!, You must have misconstruded what I tryed to say, thats ok, alot of people do that!, Thank you very much for all that you have done for me, you are a asset to us all!,,, cheers!
