I agree, uncanny realism that is impossible to capture in words. How can High Fidelity Cables do what other cables cannot? Simple, THEY ARE NOT CABLES!! They are a different device with a different method than other cables. Electrical conduction cables, no matter how simple or complicated, no matter how expensive, all allow electrons to pass. Magnetic conduction pushes and pulls the electrons along AND tightens the electron flow toward the center of the conductor. Most here could imagine the benefits of this electron "help", but the sound created by magnetic conduction is something only hearing will divulge. To Quote Tbg, "Shockingly Superior"!!!
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

01-11-15: Ddraudt.......Magnetic conduction pushes and pulls the electrons along AND tightens the electron flow toward the center of the conductor. How? This may be beyond the scope of this discussion, but can anyone with a scientific bent explain what is happening in these cables. I had a look at the patent but it appears to just discuss the method (in broad terms) with no explanation as to what might actually be happening. |
Tobes, Good question! You are right that the patent info is more of a concept explanation. I just read a new pamphlet about High Fidelity NON Cables with better insight explained more simply. (With images) Should be out soon. Part of the scientific explanation would include quantum spin dipole movement of electrons plus electromagnetic theory at the atomic level. I imagine peoples eyes glazing over at this point.... An excerpt of the simpler explination is repeated below.. "Scientific research has now confirmed that electrons interact like common bar magnets. In effect, electrons are attracted to other electrons of opposite polarity in the same way that magnets are. Inside our interconnects, we strategically place a series of magnets of varying sizes and strengths, placed around a solid core metal conductor at strategic intervals in a north-south/north-south configuration. The free electrons in the audio signal are so powerfully attracted to the guiding forces of our magnetic array that they have no choice but to be pulled along the extreme center of the conductor directly to their destination. The strong magnetic pathway generated by our neodymium magnets, subject to the Lorentz Force law of electromagnetism, will directionally align, lock onto and accelerate electrons in a preferred linear path following the densest and strongest magnetic field path centered within the CORE of our connectors. In laymen’s terms, the electrical current is pulled through with such force that the electrons are unable to break free from the magnetic pathway created by our design. As a result, the noise and distortion of EMI (RFI, conductive impedance, skin effect, capacitance, ect.) are simply overpowered by the magnetic conductance technology used within our products." Keep on the lookout for this pamphlet! I hope that helps! Feel free to contact me for further scientific explanation or other answers to your questions. Feel Free to enjoy the music!! D |
Here's what a google search on high fidelity cables turns up on the technology from the vendor's website. The accounting DD cites would seem to have some discrepancies, for example the website mentions exposing the wire to magnetic fields as part of the manufacturing process and there being magnets in the connectors, but nothing about magnets at strategic intervals inside the ICs. "Inside our interconnects, we strategically place a series of magnets of varying sizes and strengths, placed around a solid core metal conductor at strategic intervals in a north-south/north-south configuration." SO I'm not sure where DD gets his info or if he is even relating it correctly, but that would seem to be a major difference. |
Well, well, well. Ddr has access to literature from HF Cables that is "not out yet". Does that give you any more information about his relationship to the manufacturer? I will agree w him on one point. The "simpler explanation" is decidedly non-scientific (as in not scientifically valid or outside the realm of accepted science) when it starts talking about electrons being attracted to electrons of opposite polarity. As far as I know, electrons have only one "polarity"; which by convention is defined arbitrarily as negative because their charge is the opposite of protons which are arbitrarily assigned a positive charge. None of this has anything to do with how the bloody things sound but I prefer to deal w people who don't try to baffle me w bull$hit. |
