Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables?


Does anyone know what is going on with High Fidelity Cables?  Lately they have had several sales with big discounts and I ordered a cable on October 3, yet to be delivered.  I have never received any information of any type from them and they only occasionally respond to my order update requests with a revised delivery date which they then do not meet.  This has been going on for over 8 weeks now and I wonder what the issue is.  I am told it is machining problems but concerned that the big sales, false promises, and failure to deliver are indicative of more serious problems.  Any insights will be appreciated.  Thank you.

To my knowledge HFC has 2 types of dealers:  those that have bricks-and-mortar locations and the others that are virtual and sell via the internet.  I have used both types in the past and am told it is difficult to sell their products when HFC has highly discounted price sales direct to consumers.  This makes sense as the dealer pricing would be close to that of the direct discounted price.  Also, many consumers are conditioned to only buying product during these big sales and wait to buy additional products until the next sale.  I would imagine HFC to be increasingly dependent on these discounted sales.

@middlemass, I think your going to be very surprised at the sound difference your system will make after breakin. I was more than surprised, I thought my system sounded good before my 3 mc .05s were installed. I was going to get one more but didnt because of the waiting for product getting to me.

Happy Listening 🎶

Wow Middlemass...you actually got Peter at The Cable Company to order something for you !!!! I have doing business with them ( and I mean a lot of business ) for 31 years and can't get a return phone call from that guy. Sorry to the OP for going ''off thread'' but just surprised to see that Peter followed up on an order. All the best and enjoy your new cables and music.

The finest cables I've come across are readily available, call Mark at Silnote Audio he sells factory direct and doesn't waste time in getting them made and sent. His upper level cables are extremely good, I don't know about the less expensive ones but I would venture to guess that they are excellent also..
