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

Hi Ddraundt, I am going to send you an E-mail to you about some of the New taralabs offerings that go on sale 5-1-14, you make up your mind what will be a game changer in cable design and sound when you read what I send you, then maybe go and listen for yourself, that is allways the best thing to do, what I will send you is not on the Taralabs web-site, nor will it ever be on the revised web-site 5-1-14 to the extent of the info I will send, the High-fidelity and Taralabs are all good cables, I am going this week-end to listen to the ultimats of high fidelity, I am taking my discontinued Taralabs Zero gold interconnects and Omega Gold speaker cables to par against High-fidelity's best, My cables are discontinued as of 5-1-14, to be replaced by a new cable that has 75% better bandwidth, it will be the second from the flag -ship cable, The new cable I will be getting is called, The Zero Evolution interconnect with HFX floating Ground station system and The Omega Evolution speaker cable, now High- fidelity fans here do not feel direspected!, that is not my intent, I am E-mailing this gentleman, Ddraudt mentioned a comparison, and NO!, I do not have some sort of hidden agenda, and I am not a Dealer!, that is the craziest thing I ever heard, LOL, I have an open mind to all cable brands, I want to learn about them all, That way I can be an asset to other members, I have recommended cables to others that was NOT Taralabs cables, Really, Really, there are boat loads of brands and sounds out there, people should learn to have an open mind to see what is possible with audio, cheers gentleman.
Great review calvinj, The Two Ex is dicontinued, the new version of that cable is called, The two, there are now two versions of that cable for best system matching, there is the two with ISm on board for controlled bandwidth, systems that are wide bandwith like some amps out there, then the other version is The two with HFX Ground station system, this is called Extended bandwidth, It cost a little more, it is the more resolving model and is extended with more resolution, neitherless, This cables full retail is around $2,000.00 for ISM on board, and $300.00 to $500.00 more for the HFX Ground station system version, when you go up the cable food chain, the Taras are very fast on the attack, with note decay, resolution, more clarity, and delay to give the illusion of the real musical event, As you said, they are both great cables, cheers.

@jmacgrogan that is true. Audiolabrytinth is king Tara labs. Lol.
@ Calloway. You are right. Each time you go up the chain with high fidelity ct1. They do get better. I have personally witnessed it. The other thing is these cables have great speed. Jazz quartet music with multiple cymbal and drum taps are amazing.
@audiolabryinth. I am enjoying the cymbal decays on the tara labs 2ex air great. The trail away in the air like water vapor. I like the Decays in my music that way.
