High Fidelity Cables?

According to an inside source, HFC is out of business due to Covid inhouse and supply chain issues. Read Jessica's comments on page 3 and 4. 

Terrible events for Rick and his loyal customers.

And how does this relate to Rick and HF Cables?

@calgarian5355 , you can message Jessica. Find her on page 3 and 4 of the other thread. Although, I'm not sure if she's still employed.

How can there be such a difference in price? What kind of distribution deal did Rick make, any guesses?

Rick's creations were well-built and an outstanding use of technology. But he had a terrible business plan. How many $10,000 cables did he think he would sell? The more affordable products were very successful, it's evident in all the threads on different forums. 

My $1500 cable came in a Pelican Case, completely unnecessary and not good for business on his part. Maybe he was creating a mystique, HiFi for the upper financial tier. But to shut down the business without a word is so not cool. I don't see how he can be trusted in his next endeavor.

Yes, Cable Company has always distributed HFC products and now the Q45. What I'm wondering is the Mad Scientist contact enhancer a good copy or did Rick license his formula. I doubt the latter.

Where did you see Q45 for $250?

So he's selling his wares in the Market Place. Many thanks.

I'd like anyone who had a negative transaction respond to the question posed by @ozzie .

Looks like Rick is using the same magnetic design in the new cables. And the very high price point.

There's no link to ozzy. I sent him a notification.

Going by past experience with HFC, RCA cables were introduced first followed by XLR.

Does Rick have a website yet? I've only found items in the AG Marketplace.

And he has some NOS MC-0.5's for sale.

@68pete 

Did you ever have HFC interconnects in your system? Would love to know how Apparition compares.
