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

Audiolabyrinth,
My "cart before the horse" comment was simply a way of describing my individual approach, nothing more. I have no idea how you construct your system or what its current status happens to be. I make the assumption on this site that we're adults and are capable of doing what they feel is best forttheir needs.
Charles,

Putting together a system is a long road traveled.Priorities come first, so a piece here and a piece there whenever budget allows
I work 2 jobs just to fund my the lifestyle my wife and I enjoy. She works also( does anybody need any shoes or clothing) lol, after 39 years of marriage she has the things she wants, I have the things I want.
After the initial U digital cable and learning from this forum that IC's,speaker cables all work in conjunction with this magnetic technology, I slowly added( well ok, it wasn't that slow about a month) for the IC's, now I'm biting at the bit for the arrival of the speaker cables, I just can't wait as the anticipation as to what I will hear has my mind racing every day.
I want to thank all that have contributed their thoughts and reviews to this thread.
