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

Hifial, I agree with you in that its crazy that you can't name other wire you had. This would let one know their taste and would help to know where this new wire fits in. For instance if their last wire was Nordost or say Cardas this would help because one of these cables are warmer where the other is thinner. Come on now be an adult these wire companies have no shame in taking your money for something that costs so little to make. Profits on wire are huge.
It's as if some of you haven't actually read this thread at all, many comparative brands have been named. You all need to read what's been written in this 'very long' thread.
Hi Gentleman, I blieve is my friend, He is modest, I see all of you keep saying go to the cable company, I blieve lives in France!, I talked to him on the phone, He is a very well seasoned audiophile, His opinions to me hold substantial weight, He is a gentleman as well, cheers to all.
Charles1dad, I agree that one could read the "very long" thread and see some brands named. But it is a very long thread and how hard would it be to name them again.
I have been following this thread from the start and check daily, but I could not say for certain what are all the brands that might have been mentioned.

But that was not even mentioned to do when the question was asked. The answer was it was not the right thing to do by mentioning brands for comparison.

The has to be some point of reference in any comparison of anything.
Oh, and one more thing. If I hear one more person answer a question by saying to go use the Cable Company I will...well it will not be pretty.
Give me a break. First the Cable Company does not carry every make and model. The do not always carry the latest. It took them awhile to carry the High Fidelity Cables.
But not everyone is in the position to use their services, even if the live in the USA. It is not free if you decide not to buy and as modest as it may seem to some of you it does add up and for some can make the difference in the audio budget.
Yes, I think it is a great service too but I wish people would stop using it as a way to answer a question about their posting. Sure make the suggestion but at least also answer the question.
