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 Rick has a $70K+ speaker cable that is all magnets. Maybe Audiocrack should try one of those?
For $70K it should be made out crack, not magnets.

It's been a fun and interesting ride from lamp cord to High Fidelity UR Speaker cable. High Fidelity has shown me magical things I could not have imagined. I love music even more than I did in 1975.
Hope your journeys have been fruitful and joyous! D

Swampwalker and Mapman I think you guys figured it out. HFC cables have ingredients in them that make people(according to Ddraudt)see magic and fly sky high. I'm just saying. I hope thay don't get in trouble for that. Can't say we didn't warn them.
Ddraudt abd TBG and others I appreciate your sharing your views here. I hope you take my posts as some light hearthed fun. Since I can see every getting these cables at least I get to hear something about them.

First report I hear back about the HF CT-1 power cord is that it is impressive right away and gets better overnight. Looking forward to personal testing soon. I think making a lower cost power cord is a wise way to let people try the magnetic conduction technology. Even those who have said that HF is too much to even try.

I see we still have the same doubters. I used to think cables didn't make a difference. I'm way out of that camp. For those who wonder why folks have nothing better to do than come on to this thread and doubt what high fidelity does. Please you owe it to yourself. Take a listen. Decide for yourself. It's your money. It's your music. It does it for me. Whatever you do when you look at threads make sure that you get opinions from actual listeners. More reports coming soon. Lol. Everyone I quit talking so much and start listening more. Lol. High fidelity will always be a part of my system as much as everything else changes.
