Anyone heard of or tired the new IC from High Fidelity Cables, designed by Rick Schultz of Virtual Dynamics?

I'm still using some of Rick's power cords, which I've had great success with, and was wondering if anyone has tried some of his newer designs?

I will consider them when they figure out how to produce a balanced version....

  Rick mentioned the other day, that they're working on a balanced IC and speaker cable. Power cords are a little further out.

  The proof is in the listening. But based on Rick's earlier work at Virtual Dynamics, I'm betting these new interconnects sound really good.

    Truth is, they really aren't that expensive compared to many so called top tier.
    I had some Ultra Clears and Genesis cables and these CT-1s are worlds better and easy to manage.
    If a big name reviewer hears these, I'm sure the word will get out better.

  These are 10x the cost, but I doubt they sound 10x better!

    Funny how some of the most expensive stuff uses the most common materials.

    - Everything is made from stardust, so it must sound the same - gme109 09:34:43 05/26/12 (0)
      It except it doesn't. Even products made with the same materials, sound different, depending on design. I pulled out an old pair of Accu-Tech copper speaker cables the other day, and compared them to the copper MAC Cu speaker cables I'm currently using, the difference was not subtle. The Accu-Tech sounded opaque and diffused in comparison, and they're both made from copper wire. Go figure, different designs sound different.

      True, I've heard both and have a few 89259 Beldens with different RCAs!

I have two pair in my system and one used as a digital, they could be considered an essential component, the sound is truly amazing.

I won't bore anyone with superlatives, but once you hear them, you'll never want to remove them, a couple audio friends came by to take a listen and didn't want to leave my room.

  ..i am trying a 1.5m pair that i received from rick yesterday and they are superb. they are better then the cables they replaced that are over twice as expensive.

  I'm not surprised they sound exceptional, based on how good Rick's early power cord designs were. Thanks for the feedback.
  Edit: Just got off the phone with Rick, and I hope to be trying a pair of his CT-1 interconnects very soon.

    The CT-1 interconnects are phenomenal, you won't regret it, post any follow-ups.
