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

As I stated up front in my first post, the relationship between electricity and magnetism is well documented so I have no doubt changes to one will affect the other. HEnce My interest in the design concept behind the product.

The questions will be of course the magnitude of the effect and the nature of the effect in terms of how it changes the sound in addition to merely the magnitude of the change.

The value proposition is a pure individual judgement call.

Does the vendor offer any money back guarantees with the product? That's all that is needed to address any risk that a prospective buyer might incur dropping thousands into any product with promise where results may vary or not be totally assured up front.

Saying you can't judge it without trying it sounds like a cheap sales ploy otherwise. Most people cannot try it without risk otherwise. If one merely acknowledges and addresses the risks (Present with any expensive endeavor) rather than mere shilling on the perceived benefits) credibility would go way up I would expect.

Mapman..'DD' is under no obligation to explain anything to you or anyone else.Get over it!!!The forum heading is about the cables..not about who is affiliated or not with the company.Take your attidude somewhere else.
Long time lurker first time poster and as this thread is so entertaining I cant resist posting my thoughts although in hindsight they will probably be shot to pieces. I'm from NZ so I can't possibly have any connections to dealers or manufacturers. I currently have a full loom of HFC cables having rather cautiously agreed to buy a pair of enhanced speaker cables from overseas a year ago. Before the cables were sent the dealer offered me a pair of used ultimates at a very favourable price. So my first piece was a 2.5m ultimate speaker cables that were well run in. To say I was impressed is the understatement of the year and what I originally thought was a highly risky and impulsive buy soon turned into an absolute bargain in terms of the dollars I've spent on speakers and equipment upgrades. 3 ultimate interconnects soon followed. Today I received my ultimate reference speaker cables and 1 pair of ur interconnects which I've had in the system for the last 5 hours. Again my partner and I have been amazed at the improvement straight out of the box and which will I'm sure improve during the running in. They may be expensive but they have done wonders for my hiend setup.
