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.

This is insane, there wouldn't be nearly any disruption to supply chain issues if these ships would go to Fla & Tx ports and by pass California ports. If Newsome wasnt such an idiot with bs emissions crap,

Whatever giant rock you've been living under, do us all a favor and scurry back under it. Long dwelling containers were down 41% back on 11/30/31 as well as imports at the 4 largest ports 21% above 2018 levels. Retail levels are above pre pandemic levels. Emissions "crap" had nothing to do with the backlog. It was Covid disrupting the markets.

All the best,

@Nonoise... I'm not sure what set your panties on fire but under my rock I listen to great music and enjoy HFC  products. But just a point to your post with your statement, here are facts. Nov 11, 2021 there were about 111 container ships just floating in the bay waiting to unload their cargo, now in the begining of 2021 a new emissions law took effect which knocked out over half the tractortrailers that could go into port to be loaded. BUT with the new law 3/4 dont meet the emission standards. So as simple as I might be if you cut out 3/4 of trucks that would most deffinitely cause a problem.

Rumble — The backlog of about half a million containers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is a consequence of new emissions standards that prevent about half of the nation’s tractor-trailer rigs from entering the state of California ports.

Your % s are impressive they lack standing, cnn is not news facts. Yes, DeSantis has given incentives for ships to come to Fla ports. I'm now going back under my rock to listen to music with HFC. Happy Listening 🎶

Good they only had 10 years to fix the piles of CRAP. The tractors should be melted to the ground and the ding bats that thinks tractors bellowing smoke is just fine, we'll pump that in YOUR house. Here I'm on O2 because of the crap I was MADE to breath for 25 years in shops full of unburned startup fuel. 
BTW we were the ONLY folks in the Bay Area to have Evac Turbines in the 70s.

Not one of my journeyman are still alive. When you find an old diesel mechanic, shake his hand, they are rare as hens teeth.. 

You can ALL wait.. WALK to work.. If you see a shop on the way to work stop and drop off a couple of grand for future medical and shake their hands.. Maybe donate a lung instead..

Not all of us were so lucky to work in clean air environments their WHOLE life. What the clean air act is enforcing now was suppose to be enforced 10 years ago. BUT they kept relaxing the standard so OO (owner operators) could catch up. Well they didn't. They went on trying to squeeze out a living in a unregulated trucking world.. Stupidest thing since they did deregulate the trucking industry. You can't import "truck driving". For some reason businesses in the US forgot that part.. You cannot import the result of labor. Sounds funny but that is actually the problem.

Businesses want to bypass the logistics of portal to portal delivery cost. So do I.

The only answer is "Transporter Technology". LOL, otherwise PAY the drivers to drive and HELP understand the only issue there is, IS " the DOCKS are privately owned". PERIOD! It doesn't matter who regulates what. WHO owns the docks, who runs the docks who works the docks.

There are still a LOT of security concerns too. The west coast has a few ports, not just CA. Taxes vary a lot just state to state. You can save 60-100k per million depending on where you bring equipment into the country at. The differences in taxes alone. NUTS the whole corrupt crony crap THING!!

That's right over a set of cables.. or worse a terminal end screw that cost more to ship than to make because we don't or WON'T make them in the US..

Merry Friggin' Christmas. Rudolf was a stoner, Blitzen wasn't far behind.

 

It is frustrating.  However, I keep in touch with Casey, and he keeps me informed as to my order.  He’s a top-notch guy.  I’m sure, after their 60% off sale, that they are swamped.  For myself, I’m willing to wait, as all of their products are revelatory.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a MC-05, or a MC-1 DHS, or a set of interconnects, or power cord, each and every time I either add, or upgrade a HFC product, my system always improves.  Yes, like I said it is frustrating having to wait so long, but I know when I receive my order, I’m going to be more than happy.  My advise, try to be patient.  You’ll be glad you did.
