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

For example, I used DSP for my work office system. It started out sounding OK but not realistic, just like before HD wires in the shill cases here. Then I applied the DSP to try to get it to sound the way I know it can. DSP made things 300% better. Clearer, detailed and more dynamic. A night and day transformation. The DSP I used was inexpensive computer software, that already may come bundled into many peoples home computer so no cost there to at least try and see.
@ddraudt@tbg@lak how is it going I have been so busy at work I haven't been listening as much. Im hoping to get a listen in this weekend. @lak I will get you some more cd suggestions soon.
Calvinj,
I'm always open for additional suggestions...Thanks.
Thus far the only suggestion that I did not really care for was Erik Truffaz, just not for me.
Calvin, You Haven't been listening much!!! How do you stand it? I turn up the music right when I get out of bed and fall asleep listening at night.
It is going well, thanks for asking. I'm very excited about the High Fidelity URR Power Cord that is scheduled to arrive TODAY!!! I've optimized my system adding a few parts and taking other parts out. At this point it's the best I've heard! I auditioned a 3rd URR two weeks ago and it was a quantum shift in AMAZING! How does one describe going from the greatest sound ever imagined to incredibly superior to that??? people must hear this HF magnetic conduction to understand the new world in audio.
Hope you enjoy the weekend sessions! ;-) D
"How does one describe going from the greatest sound ever imagined to incredibly superior to that???"
