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

Jmcgrogan2, John, I would have to agree with Tbg, Calloway and Charles1dad that these cables are very special, not like any other cables ever. But that claim has been made many times before as you eluded to. 18 months ago, before I heard High Fidelity Cables, I was in the same place as many. I've heard almost every fancy cable and special new designs in 3 decades. A friend told me about them and I started reading
articles and blogs and technical info on the design idea. I was impressed by reports on this NEW way of signal and power transmission and thought it might be a serious game changer. I was still NOT prepared
for how much better they sounded (by a large margin)(in every aspect) than anything I heard in my 30+ years of testing.
I'm sure You and Silemus will love them once you do get around to hearing them.
Enjoy the music!!

@ TBG, I will be making a post on the taralabs 0.8 thread of a run down of all the New Taralabs cables to be released for sale 5-1-14, I will be moving up the cable food chain of Taralabs myself to the Evolution Omega speaker cables and the Evolution Zero interconnects, Normally I would not do this, However, This new model that replaces My omega gold speaker cables and zero gold interconnects is a whoping 75% increase in performance!,The speaker cables is $2,000.00 more retail for 8ft than what I have,$26,000.00, I will be getting a 6ft pair, This is to be a cable system to be recond with, the only cable that will better this is the Taralabs Evolution Grand Master speaker cables and interconnects, that I cannot afford!, Maybe I can Ride off into the sunset?, You think?,LOL!

Why are you advertising for Tara on this Forum! You haven't heard one piece of HF cable. You claim you don't want to pay for the 5% fee to borrow the cables from the cable company. But yet you are going to buy a $26,000 6ft cable. Why don't you try a HF cable first?

Are you sponsored by Tara. Because it's always Tara, Tara with you.

Also in agreement. You really should know better, having been on these forums "a couple of years". Its a breach of etiquette and you are totally disrespecting all of us that have contributed to this thread.

I'm surprised they let the shill post even get on here - either voluntarily have it removed (the classier option) or we will have it removed for you.
