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

@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.
Tobes, sorry, I was trying to help but I seemed to stir up a nest of trolls!
Hehe!!
You know... I could be wrong... one possibility.
Is it possible some haven't delved into CURRENT theory deeply enough.
History is festoon with humanities hate and fear of the unknown So you are all forgiven.
My system sings more sweetly so I care little about "Clowns on a Thread"
Spoiler alert!, this thread is read by 10 people. Hahaha!!
I LOVE High Fidelity Cables and my knowledge and experience has me excited about the sound. Others like myself share here. We just step over "unhelpful"piles in our path to elation.
Sorry Kids!! The Music is ON and I got to GO!
Swampwalker, just a quick point about positrons that I mentioned in my previous post. Although they do exist, they are only produced during very specific radioactive decay processes. They are not in natural abundance and would likely not be involved in the effect described.

DD, you could stop the banter if you would just answer the simple question you have been asked multiple times on this thread. Do you sell or have any other financial interest in HF cables? You have never answered and it is a very simple question. Yes or no? If you do not answer or divert the question yet again, everyone will have the answer they have been looking for. That is not trolling, it is looking for transparency and integrity, something that appears to be in short supply here.

I am glad for calvin, tbg, etc. that they have found what you are looking for with these cables. I will get to try a pair in my system, hopefully soon. As I said before, I will post my impressions at that time.
Ddraudt, for my part I didn't mean to convey negativity (not sure if CalvinJ is taking aim at me?) - I'm genuinely interested in the principles at work here. Hopefully if there is some 'breakthrough' involved with the HF cables, there will be a way of producing a trickle down version at lower cost. Cheers.

PS - I wanted to let this one go:

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.......[/quote]

But I seriously doubt Rick Schultz is proposing positrons are being produced (nor that there would be any benefit in doing so): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron
