Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables?

Dude I live in Chicago.

Merry Christmas and typical @nonoise onoise fashion you think you are having the last word.

@oldhvymec,  I can't disagree with anything you stated in your post, but a few pts. 1) I didn't work in a clean office setting, actually worked right out of HS in a explosive plant for 19yrs & went to college at night. I worked with every deadly gas known to mankind from ammonia gas, every acid from nitric, sulfuric, weak acid, mixed acid, asbestos to sewer stuff. Proper gears is life saving which obviously I used every single day there. (65).

2) As for the ports being privately owned correct, BUT who owns them, I know do you ? China controlled, what moron in govt like everything made that decision (without) the public's knowledge ? I know who. 

Yes, crony capitalism is at the heart of this supply chain issue. Here's a fantastic idea, what if we made everything here then no supply chain issue. But there's the dirty secret, but the secret is out, the reason why a set srew will cost us a small fortune is the massive Inflation 9.6% so this yr from last. Means your paying hfc with monopoly money loss in value. I'm done I could go on forever.

Let's keep this about music, fun hobby, hfc products. Why I pasted on the sales, great sales by the way Rick. I didn't want to pay today and wait mths to get my product in hand. My loss my system sounds great to Me. But want to try the nps 1260, still fighting myself on painting connections but I am curious like I was with mc.05s which I have 3.

They were a bigly surprise to my ears, still amazed.

Happy Listening....🎶🎵🎶

Please no rebuttals needed.

Wow. It's like I'm talking to skypunk or therealearlflynn but you insist you're jerry...
I never said or implied you lived in a red state. That was in response to your politically charged rant at the end of your post. At least you're consistent so we can all enjoy your contributions here.

Also, I have to comment on the 9.6% inflation this year from last. More BS. 2/3 of that is due to Rump's handling of the economy. Does anyone here really think that when someone takes over, everything resets to zero? I'll bet some do.

All the best,
Nonoise

LOL you are truly obsessed with these two charterers.

With your obsession with Trump I would swear you are ....

You need to get help oh and WORD!

OK, as the OP I will jump in here.  There are a lot of good points here from every direction regarding supply chain issues and the cause.  I have to admit I don't really fully understand the issues and causes of long overseas lead times and also admit I don't really care as long as our leaders fix it.

The real issue here is what I have been driving at.  So you have a company with great products with great quality.  You currently have supply chain issues and have barely initiated an in-house machining operation.  Your customer service effort is, for the lack of a better term, minimal.  So in response to all of these issues you hold a massive 60% off sale designed to do what all sales do, that being an increase in sales volume.  And the result of this big sale and resultant big increase in order backlog is a massive increase in lead time, little to no communication with customers, while you pocket your customers' money to do with as you please while leaving them to pursue order status.  Instead of building raw material and finished goods inventory while developing your machining operation prior to the sale to buffer lead times you do so while being slammed with orders.  As a wise business owner friend once said, "Price, quality, service.  Choose two."  I guess it is up to the customer whether buying these products at a big discount are worth the customer service headache.  Myself, I am not so sure.
