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.

@rlawry Please keep up updated with the improvements you hear, (should there be any additional improvements) with the CF-1.

Since I added two things to my system simultaneously and the music lover in me outweighed the engineer in me, I wanted to go back and listen to the individual effect of the Shockwave ethernet cable and the CF-1.  So I unplugged the CF-1 overnight and listened again this morning with only the SW plugged in, then to both plugged in.  Rick Schultz indicated that most of the heavy lifting was provided by the SW (its price is 4X the CF-1) and I agree with that assessment.  I would say the SW provided 70-80% of the sonic improvement, so in my mind either provides a similar sonic upgrade based on cost.  I guess the only thing to try is comparing the effect of the CF-1 versus an MC-0.5 magnetic plug-in conditioner.
