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

@audiolabyrinth. Hey there is nothing wrong with liking tara labs. They are great cables. If they make your sound like you want. I wouldn't worry kieth. You are always good with me. Say what you want. No worries. I have heard the tara labs the one. Those are really good. So I could imagine the better ones are really good. Hey, I want you to be happy with your cables. If you are I wouldn't worry as long as you are happy. I'm in a listening session right now listening to a used lsa statement I bought off agon. I put the high fidelity ultimate reference power cable on the gato fm 6 on a dac. It's is a splendid session. We been listening for 3 hours. @tbg. You are spot on. The lsa statement is great with this high fidelity ultimate reference power cord on it. Once again it is producing great results. Thanks for your information on it. Genius. @Ddraudt. How are you. The high fidelity journey is a good one. These cables are special..
@audiolabyrinth. I'm not attacking you. Stay up. You are good. Continue to post.
Hi folks. I am in the market to replace my digital cable. After reading through this thread I only came across one person who has tried the HF CT-1 digital cable and that person was not impressed. I am wondering if anyone else has any experience they would like to share?

Thank you.
Tboooe, I can only now use USB digital cables, but before that I could use a SPDif digital cable and still own the HFC Ct-1 Enhanced. It was strikingly superior to the other digital cables I had, including a charged Exemplar cable. HFC will probably never make an USB cable, but I wish they would.

I am now using a BMC PureUSB1 cable.
Hi All, Been away for a few days and was surprised to see my name mentioned so many times. I love to have folks come and listen as it is even more fun to share my sometimes crazy, over the top conglomeration of tweaks, inventions and components. If your going to be in Austin, contact me about a visit.
I've had great sounding systems for decades but the High Fidelity Parts is my single best improvement ever.
My amp designer tells me my custom integrated amp is just weeks away. ( after more than a year perfecting the design and build )
When it arrives I will have to completely disassemble my system and rebuild it to fit the 3 chassis unit. Then a month of break in followed by months of tuning.
My speaker designer is in the planning stage of my new speakers.
Once built, we will spend months perfecting the prototype.
Today, even with a loaner amp and speakers, it is the best system I've ever heard, felt, or been engulfed by.
Happy to read that so many are enjoying the music. D
