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

Badman, I'm sorry for a few things.
One - I haven't read your posts for several reasons.
A) I avoid Bad people.
B) no useful or helpful info.
C) I don't play the "respond to crazies" game.
I'm also sorry High Fidelity products make whatever you sell inferior.
I'm sorry your not enjoying the music because of this.
I'm sorry you got lost on the wrong thread.
I truly hope you get whatever help you need to feel happy again.
Love Dave

Mapman I sent you a message via Audiogon. Perhaps it did not go through or maybe you have a new address since you began here.

Hi All--
Like Audiolabyrinth, I don't see any problem with what Badman is saying. While I am sure Rick's cables sound excellent, he is NOT saying they sound bad. His problem is something Rick is claiming that he want to be proven wrong. The onus is on Rick to prove him right or wrong.

As far as I know, such tests/eperiments should have recorded data backing them. I also think that people who make such bold claims should know that they can be challenged any time. Proving one right or wrong requires more than just mere words from the mouth.

That being said, I hope to hear Rick's cabels one day. I am sure, like those raving about them, I would be blown away.
