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

CalvinJ, Agreed! It's an ordinary (audio) life without the Magic of High Fidelity Cables. Ricks Magnetic conduction cables RULE!!
Jmcgrogan2, I think Calvinj means without the HFCables of all sorts that he has. I took only one HFC URR pc and the full loom of HFC UR ics and speaker wires with me to New Mexico. Now that I'm back to my big system, I realize how important other HFC URR pcs are, as is the HFC Waveguide power center, the Tripoint Troy Signature, and the Star Sound Tech. Apprentice platforms.

I think the HFC Ultimate Reference Rhodium through one's system are vital. I hate it as they are too expensive. I have never tried the HFC Ultimate Reference but have tried the Ultimate. Unfortunately the Ultimate has very little of the magic of the URRs.
I took 2 power cords out and the 2 ic out. All of it was high fidelity ultimate reference. The music is just not the same. The power cords are special. The ic add realism and naturalness. The notes don't separate as well without high fidelity ultimate reference. The decays are not there. The music is not as vibrant. The Kendrick Scott Oracle conviction album. There is a jazz piece called "I have a dream". There is part of the song where you can hear guys talking in the background faintly. Without the high fidelity ultimate reference. You can't hear it. The prat has been reduced. The Speed is not there. High fidelity ultimate reference is special. I took one piece out first then the three others. I like the power cords the most. Then the ic then speaker cables. Either way it's all good. It gets better piece by piece. Taking it out is like throwing a really thick blanket over your speaker. Rick set out to create a special product that provides a listening experience different from any other. He has succeeded in doing so and continues to make it even better. If you have a system you owe to yourself to put some high fidelity in it.
