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

Jafant, If you fly through Bush International, you can both fly to College Station or drive up in less than an hour.

"It's better… at EVERYTHING!" 2 HF URR power cords in my system for a few weeks ( with a few tweaks ). High Fidelity's magnetic conduction at the UR level pass low level signals impossible with electrical conduction.
Now, subtle clues in the soundstage, both musical and organic create
such an amazing, intimate connection to the artist that I can see and feel their intent like never before. Difficult not to get wrapped up and carried away by the music that is at once revelatory and dumbfounding. Additional layers of detail presented in a more real and natural way with impossible power, dynamics and effortlessness. Best bass, mids and highs ever! WOW!! and WOW!! again.
Enjoy the Music.. Dave the happy camper.

Tbg, A guy asked me yesterday if it would be better to buy 4 HFC
Ultimate power cords or two URR PC's at roughly the some price.
What do you think about it?
I Think I would be very happy with the Ultimate they never mAde the URR!
too late now that I've heard the URR!
