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

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.

I'm relieved that I wasn't the only one who got the wind knocked out of
over the misplaced post. Wouldn't it be great if there could be a comparison between the two. I tend to think that we would be comparing a new wire technology with something beyond wire.
BTW, Rick has developed a new super cable without wire just magnets all the way thru. The cost would make UR look like a bargain and a speaker cable would be more than my first house but the sound is an education into what wire is doing wrong.
