Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind
Years ago I got the A2+ to check out what the hype was about. Complete rubbish. There was an audible disconnection between the woofer and tweeter, it was not seamless at all. I had them sitting in free space with the little stands for them and eve... 
Nordost QKORE
I agree that setting length at 2m minimum is not good, as reducing wire runs is a must and having 1m would be a nice option. Nordost now have an upgraded higher end ground wire (of course) in black and you could possibly ask about custom lengths ... 
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
Go create a nano-flo thread and post about it there. I genuinely hope its better than the HFC stuff. But a couple of you are blatantly spamming your commercial interests here. This thread should be reserved for HFC and the serious discussion of ...

How about schilling your contact enhancer business in another thread?  
Amir and Blind Testing
Amir is the high priest of the ASR cult. Years ago, they were militantly claiming that changes to the power supply of dvd/blu-ray players could not possibly have any effect on the video output, because bits are bits and the power supply does not ...

I realise how difficult it is when a business goes under, and there will always be a few customers caught out during the transition period. But HFC did a recent 60% off sale and probably took in a substantial amount of orders. I wonder how many o... 
High Fidelity Cables?
They had a line of products that was all under 1k. The Reveal line. I am not sure how well they compared to the CT-1 and CT-2 tho.  
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables
@tsushima1  Yes please show us the inside of the Zobel box!

But one thing I never see on audiogon is a huge amount of 2nd hand product, considering the success of the brand. People tend to keep their HFC cables, because they really perform at a higher level.  
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
@duckworp That’s exactly right. And customers get used to wanting that sort of discount permanently. When I saw those 60% off sales I either thought they were cleaning house to release a new line of products or were in trouble. It turned out to... 
Enjoying LEEDH Processing….
The LEEDH processing theory is really interesting; in that what is the cause of the sound improvement? To vastly simplify, for each step of the digital volume control LEEDH uses a whole number. i.e instead of 3.14141414141414 into infinity they u...

Entirely speculation, but using deduction. 'IF' Rick comes back with another venture, I suspect he will not start out with the cables, due to complexity and cost of custom manufactured cables like HFC. He will probably start with the new contact...

I expect that Rick has dropped making cables for the time being and his new venture will be focused on these new contact enhancer products only.  
Masimo Acquires Sound United - Are Denon, Classe, Polk, B&W, Marantz, going to fade away??
When was the last time Denon had products that appealed to the enthusiast market, and conversely when was the last time the general consumer even knew who they were? Well that's the case in Australia. Perhaps in the US or Europe they still have s...

From late 2011 when Rick launched HFC, to late 2014 I helped on the digital side. I did all the website, marketing, banners, lightbox photography of all the products, contacted a heap of reviewers and websites to promote e.t.c So apart from Rick ...
