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

Mapman. sorry for the misspelling, the P in magpie was supposed to be a G.

But seriously! You come on a High Fidelity Thread and actually state that you turned down a free listen to High Fidelity Cables. On a thread devoted to High Fidelity Cables. Subject "High Fidelity Cables Designed by Rick Schultz". So I naturally think you are joking and I joke back.
It's like you're extolling the virtue of sugar in a diabetic blog.
kidding or crazy?? you decide.
Since you posts mean absolutely nothing to anyone here I though you wanted attention really badly and gave some. I would comment on your posts but, alas, there is nothing there. You are so anti magnetic I think of you as Auntie Mags, no matter what name I write.
Cheers ;-) The Shillster

I was not joking.

Also I have nothing against magnets.

You are right that there is nothing I can add to this thread. Especially since I get mocked rather than my questions by which one might learn something new of value getting answered.

So it is what it is I can accept that.

@ddraudt. I totally understand where you are coming from. I didn't listen much saturday because I'm starting to gain weight from sitting in my sweet spot and not moving much. Lol. I have a great sound and I want to keep it going and just enjoy my music. I look at the posts and participate in the forum but I'm more interested in if my system sounds special and satisfying and with the high fidelity stuff it gets that done for me. I will get some more listening in this week. I guess some people don't understand. However, if you get them in your system and play them. They really perform well. For those reading this the lyrics of one of my favorite songs starts with the line "Dont Talk Just Listen".

@ddraudt. Another suggestion. Landmark smooth jazz album. Najee"Najee's Theme". Try it came out in 1987.

Anyone else think that dd and calvin should move their lovefest to a private chatroom? It's getting pretty deep in here. And unless I'm totally confused about how audio works, no one can tell what these cables "sound like" by wading through 38 pages of bull$hill ;-) What a waste of bandwidth! But if it's true that there is no such thing as bad publicity, you guys are marketing geniuses. Or is it geniuii?
