High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz

Swampwalker, seems the cat is out of the bag on DD, doesn't it? It is amazing what has happened to this site over the last couple of years. It has long been the practice, if not policy here, for persons with a financial interest in a product to disclose that relationship when they make posts promoting that product. It is called being ethical, and it seems some of the newer members are having trouble understanding this. One of those having trouble understanding why some of the long term members have a hard spot with this unethical behavior is a lawyer. He seems to be taking it as a personal attack on him. WTH? JMcgrogan has stated openly several times that he has OWNED the CT-1s and found them very good but not game changers. It is amazing how many times he has been accused of having never heard them and belittled by the psychofants AFTER he stated several times that he had owned them.

As to the statement about electrons of opposite polarity, they do exist and are called positrons. Same mass as an electron but with a positive charge, so the statement is conceivable at least in that regard. Beyond that, I don't know.

I have no reason to doubt the sound quality of these cables, as two people that I know and trust have commented extremely positively on this thread. One has offered to bring a pair of his CT 1s over once I have the rest of my system settled in. I have heard his system a couple of times before he got the HF cables and was very impressed. He has told me on the phone how good they are, and I believe him. I look forward to hearing them and will report back my thoughts on them after I listen.

.......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....

This doesn't really help me Ddraudt. Like Swampwater states above, electrons have a defined negative electric charge (which is a fundamental constant). Perhaps something has been misinterpreted by the ad-copy writer?
Or perhaps the manufacturer doesn't know why or how they work - ie he's discovered the effect empirically? Which would be ok, I guess, and probably better than coming up with a pseudo science explanation.

Anyway, as long as you are happy with the sound/$ equation I suppose that's all that matters. Far too spendy for me:) Happy listening.

This forum has been extremely interesting. I love the music and I love how well my high fidelity has performed along with the rest of my gear. I just wonder how anyone would come on any forum. Not just this one. When they have no idea how something sounds nor do they care for even trying it. I have enjoyed meeting some great people on the forums and I have received great advice and observations from a number of people who post here and other places. I realized a long time ago that you are going to get certain things from certain people. The other thing is how anyone can post anything about anybody. I used to get worked up a little when somebody said I'm marketing when I post. I had to realize that junk in junk out. Why would I expect anyone who came on to thread that had nothing to add on a product to actually have something worthwhile to say. I'm not pointing to anyone directly but it's just an observation. I'm thankful that I found the perfect product for my musical enjoyment. I just encourage other audiophiles to consider the source of negativity when individuals don't have any audio evaluations to speak of. We all need to listen for ourselves and not let folks with personal grudges or other motives to affect our decisions on what we choose to listen to. Personally, does it sound good? What does it sound like? What do you like or don't like? Does it make you happy? Has the posting person heard the product? Does the person envy those who can purchase it? Does a person view sound the way you do? Does the poster have similar tastes? How often do you see negative posts about the actual sound of the product? How many different people post that like the product? How enthusiastic about a product are they? Are they posting about the product or are they posting because they don't like a person who likes the product? I think most audiophiles are mature and have been out of high school for a while now. I love the music. Does it make your music sound good? Grudges and attacks are just sapping all the fun out of something that we audiophiles love. Enjoy everyone and answer the question for yourself that I posed tonight.

@everyone. I will give you an example of grudges and how people hold on to things. I sold my LSA statement to cmsgolf. I had a better one than he had. I later decided I might want one again. I almost bought his old one and decided not to. Guess he never let it go. If you say something about a friend of theirs they take it personal. This exactly what I'm talking about. This has turned into I don't like you so I will post something negative. It has nothing to do with how something sounds. I don't care about some guy who I've never met challeging my ethics. There were certain things that I was taught growing up. There are limits to what I would comment on about another man especially about a profession that an individual has worked hard to achieve. Told me all I need to know about the person making the comments. No decency or integrity. More importantly to make those comments because of an audio product. I don't know enough about him to challenge his ethics in what he does for a living. This is where we have to be careful as audiophiles. I don't speak for all audiophiles. I can only speak for myself. It's the Internet. Some guys think there is a hierarchy on audiogon. If you been on the site for a while you get a medal. Lol. I think it's silly. If something sounds good I say it. If it doesn't I don't. I have tried or owned the entire ct1 line. I haven't just tried one. I have tried them all. Listen for yourself. My comments or anyone else shouldn't determine whether you get them or not. Find out for yourself or just like cmsgolf ask a friend you know and trust. Lol.

Swampwater, you dear silly fool, you MUST LISTEN to them to know how they SOUND.
