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

@audiolabryinth. I welcome all views of other cables that compare. I'm glad you give us your opinion as well as comparisons to the high fidelity. I'm sold on the effect that it had on my system. I think high fidelity has some cutting edge technology and performance. However, you are welcome to tell us about other impressions of cables. You really should try the high fidelity and compare them with the tara labs.
Thanks calvinj, No calloway, calvinj, I made a reply to you when you called me out on this thread, that's all I was doing, I do not desire to elaborate about other cables on this thread, we have a thread for that, The peoples thread, where you can talk about anything, any cable brand, etc..., you are welcome to talk about the high-fidelity cables there as well, The thread is the Tara Labs cable thread, I am not the op here, so I respect that they do not want to know about any other cable but High-fidelity cables on this thread, Kinda strange to me, It's a pleasure to talk with you calvinj, you are one of my best audio buddys out there,cheers to you my friend.
Audiolabyrinth, so what does someone who has never bothered to hear the HFCables contribute to a thread obviously focused on these cables. I must admit that I largely ignore your posts as not relevant or of interest. At this time only the Crystal Absolute Dream cables hold any interest for me despite not only being expensive but outrageously so. Would I bother to listen to them? You bet, as I once listed to a $350,000 amp and similarly I also spent a good deal of time in the Perfect 8 suite listening to $350,000 speakers.
TBG, I have listened to some HF cables before, It was not my idea to say anything about any cable, but when calvinj said what he said, I knew he has not ever listened to any Top Tara Labs cable models before, we talk on the phone alot to each other, and he directed his post to me, there is nothing wrong with responding to him, that is all I wanted to do, I am sorry for offending any one here, cheers.
Hi ALL, someday someone will compare the top of the two lines to give us at least one opinion the includes HEARING them.
I check in on another threads where folks constantly talk about products they have no experience with. sometimes it's funny but mostly this mental masterbation is annoying. I think audio labyrinth is ok, I like him because he understands High end buying ext. but without hearing the HF cable put this friend out of the picture in these discussions. Keith,
I hope you get to hear HF UR some time or at least a power cord so you have some idea of the technology difference that I call game changing.
You most likely hope I hear what you love also.
bottom line.. enjoy the music
