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

New Review of the High Fidelity Ultimate Reference Rhodium Power Cord
Re chain The Kraken!!
I just read Jack Roberts review for Dagogo. Wow!!! the picture Jack painted really made me want one.. Really a lot.
But wait… I already have one on order. After I finish this post I am going to go wait by the door until my URR arrives. could be a week.
The comparison between it and the Kraken tells it all as he describes some of the abilities that make the HF URR so superior in realism.
This phenomena is also present in their signal cables. The Highest Fidelity Ever. Enjoy
@Ddraught. Did you try ahmad Jamal. Saturday morning cd. When you get that high fidelity power cord. Give us your review.
Calvinj, I've not yet got a copy of Saturday Morning by Ahmad Jamal. may go to amazon today. (not the river).
I will surely regale, or bore you with my experience with the HF URR.
My system sounds so REAL with all the High Fidelity gear I have now it has astonished me and 3 other audio folks this week. listening in silent awe to every type of music played. with occasional gasps, laughs and expletives due to mind being blown.
Calvinj, I hear that you may audition the HF UR speaker cable, that is Great! I believe The UR cable has the same qualities as the UR power cord. Amazing, hard to believe realism.
A reminder; the power cord sound wonderful quickly, the cables take a long (long) time to be their best. Especially if you we're not using a magnetic speaker cable before hand. Do to the fact that magnetic permeation of the components is part of the desired effect of magnetic cables, and that permeation takes time, say 600 hours. Even if they do sound good or great right away, they will sound much better with playing time.
Enjoy the music!!
Dave, I love your post about your new power cord you are awaiting, Awsome and cool!
