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

Calvinj, I've been listening to a wide variety of music lately. I agree that there is something about the sound that HFCables allows, that greatly enhances musical enjoyment. A friend and I listened to the mostly soft and delicate songs from Rickie Lee Jones "Pop pop" album, then listened to the wildly
intricate rhythmic blends and high energy world music of Mino Cinelu album "Mino Cinelu"(played loudly). The High Fidelity Stuff handles every type of music with aplomb and deftness lifting veils I did not know existed and delivering the most perfect performances I could never have imagined possible in audio. How could I not be thrilled and excited!!!
You know what I mean Calvin! Enjoy!!

Great listening session last night fellas. Still sleepy stayed up too late enjoying my music. I'm going to start up again this morning. Lol. Those of you who haven't tried the high fidelity ultimates. This particular product has been the sweet spot for me. At first I thought that I shouldn't pay this much for a interconnect but I was quickly satisfied when it flat out musically performed in my system like nothing I have ever had. When you have musicians that are really good on thier instruments it keeps up with it all effortlessly. Last night there were piano and drum passages that were quick and back to back and on top of each other. The high fidelity ultimates still got it all in a manner that allowed you to really see how great a guy can play.

Nice.

Let us know when they stop sounding good. At least that will be some news. You sound like a freakin broken record. Can't you just enjoy your system like everyone else and stop telling us about it? Or at least tell us about something else contributing. We know you like your freakin wires already.

@sounds even better today. I'm listening to the Bennie green trio. Sounds like they are in the room with me. If you enjoy the small club atmosphere it makes you feel like you are there.
