Is this a scam?
For what reason did he only send partial payment? Got to e a scam.  
Hattor Audio preamps?

Hattor Audio preamps?
I don't, but coincidentally I was just in contact with a fellow who owned one and he was quite impressed with his. Nice wood case, too.

Was my friend given misinformation.
I think his being happy with his purchase (if he is) is not the entire enchilada. He most likely would be happier had he taken your advice. And as usual; GLORY TO UKRAINE!!!!  
Dumbest cable question
@clearthinker , You actually believed he was serious... Now, on a more important note; GLORY TO UKRAINE!!!!
