Hi @agisthos ,
I'm sure i'm not the only one, you could see HFC facebook page,
others may have quickly or lucky enough to get their money refunded, not me.
I still have the invoice from HFC, I contact with Casey from HFC at that time.
Sound-quality wise, I'm also still prefer Rick's inventions. Currently I still use his basic CT1 interconnect and speaker cables, and power cord from his fist company Virtual Dynamics.
But the last and largest investment lost is too much on me.
