HF URR PC report
Thursday morning my High Fidelity Ultimate Reference Rhodium magnetic conduction power cord arrived. Hooray !!
plugged it in to my filter (HF - UR- WGPC) at 9 am and let it warm up, break in , settle down for 4 hours play time.
It was definitely a purer sound with improvements everywhere but still sounded a bit tight.
At 6 hours it was sounding more relaxed and at 8 hours even more so.
At 9 hours I put the old cord back in and UGH!!! pretty awful!
So back to the URR… AAH!!  Much Better!
The URR handles complex passages better and more dynamics too.
The tones are richer and fuller, the background quieter
veils removed my friends,, veils removed!
more natural sounding. I hear deeper into the music.
intriguingly real….
Friday 15 hours of play time (plus amp on idle at night)
Wow!! it has really changed rhelms today.
Evaluations are hard because I’m moved to sing and dance about with
the music.;-) It’s so good! Even music I didn’t care for sound good now as if
the performers learned how to sing and play better!??
Shocking to discover just how much wonderful magic is lost in ordinary
power cords. My integrated amp seems to work better now as increases in volume now sound more like an increase in detail and dynamics, rather then just louder.
Tried my old power cord again, after warn up it sounded very good.
BUT.. WOW... was going back to the URR is amazing! Truly AMAZING!
I can tell the are the same songs but OMG how they’ve changed.
It’s like an Ultra High Def compaired to standard braodcast. Much More than just better in every aspect, the URR is in a different Galaxy!
The whole musical show is so much more present in the room.
Gone from the blackest background to NO background at all.
Moved from a very solid image to Too real an image to be called an image.
Yes Friends, I’m having trouble giving an analogy because A.) I’ve never experianced anything like this before. and it’s a good bet no one has...
B.) No mear words would let you know what I’m hearing. I mean, what does “ SO TOTALLY BETTER THAN ANYONE COULD DREAM POSSIBLE” do to describe the sound? Saying A is much better, and that B is way better, would keep it in the vasinity of normal worldly improvements.
No matter how much better that better can be, it would fall far short of describing this total quantim shift in musical reproduction I have witnessed.
Perhaps I’ve said everything and nothing but you would have to experiance the URR to know it. Dangerously good and worth every penny! Cheers D

URR day 3 WOW WOW WOW!!! 30 hours of play time and I find myself just trying to relax and be as open as possible, as this miracle of sound washes over me. I can lean full into the triumph of tone and texture and too many additional attributes, like never before. The grit and grind and soul of the music is there, like never before. Wow!
I have some friends over and collected utterances during the music.
Maybe they will help with the understanding.
"god" , "Yeah", "Wow", "incredible", "Amazing" were words repeated every few minutes.
"I didn't even know those sounds were in there", " It's Unbelievable!!"
"This is 10 times as good!!" "The speed is amazing!" "so solid, powerful". "The old was fuzzy and buzzy compared to this".
"It is, at once, both the finest detail and the most solid image imaginable". "the artists work Shines!!"
"Tone and texture unraveled and revealed." "Each tune a Musical Journey" "It's NOT like listening to an audio system"
" It's a tipping point where the sum is so much more than the parts."
"That instrument finally sounds right." Cymbals or so solid"
"It handles complicated passages and dynamic shifts so well."
"It's like being part of the performance!"
There is a totality, a wholeness, an impossible realness to it"
"The music floated me away!" "Air and space, OUTstanding!!
"I can't describe it… they gotta just hear it!!"

Cheers D

@DDraught. I totally understand I finally put the high fidelity ultimate reference speaker cables in last night with the veloce amps and pre and with high fidelity ultimate reference power cord. It was mind blowing. I listened to music for about 4 hours straight today. It was special. I think these cables work with speakers at any level.

I have been following this thread since it's inception, mostly due to my interest to upgrade from CT-1 to E or U cables; and after numerous unbridled laudations by Ddraudt, I must say the comments are losing credibility. Each incremental move in the cable chain has been proclaimed and celebrated as the ultimate in music reproduction. Can it get better? Not until the next upgrade. I appreciate Ddraudt's enthusiasm, but for me, this expression of reverence hints at excessive glorification...

"At 9 hours I put the old cord back in and UGH!!! pretty awful!"

Sorry, no intention to offend you Ddraudt or any other followers of HFC, but please take in account that over the last two years the extolling is threatening to become saccharine and insipid.

Has anybody run the High Fidelity Speaker cables with Wilson speakers ? I'm running my CT1's with Sasha series one and it sounds quite satisfactory , thinking about auditioning the CT1E's .
