High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260

There are two basic topics on this thread:  Q45T, and is HFC closed.  This post is about the latter.  While there are many who write that they know the owner, Rick, it is striking that over the period of rumor, speculation and drama associated with HFC and it's current business status- there appears no one has met with or spoken to Rick.  Has he not reached out to any of his long term customers?  Is he a ghost?

While HFC listings continue to be active on both Audiogon and CableCo, from experience, orders are NOT being filled, and attempts to contact the company continue to be met with silence.  Audiogon tells me they are unable to reach the company.  Yet, the HFC website continues to say "...temporarily closed due to covid".  Tough to know what to believe.

It would be particularly useful if someone could provide FACTS from Rick himself, rather than speculation and opinion.

Unfortunately, given listings for the company are still out there with no contact from HFC- it is becoming increasing difficult to have any confidence in the ability to safely procure products. 

I would greatly appreciate being proven wrong.

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.

@agisthos again, are you simply speculating, or do you have direct information on this?

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 enhancer technology. But I am certain he will come back to cables at some point as it's his passion.

That would be good news
