I doubt it. I finally got a response to my inquiries and it seems the company has been moving into a new office ,the principles had been on the tradeshow circuit as well as finding a full-time distributor. Don't know about the distributor but I'm guessing the move is complete by now. Anyway, I purchased a pair and am quite happy with what I've heard so far though it's only been a local bands very informal rehearsals. They may very well have 400+ sets in stock since the pair I received had serial numbers ~450 apart and the high number was just under 1200. Biggest problem I had was the initial contact. Once established, all subsequent dealings went without a hitch.
I agree, I bought my set off eBay and it was a total gamble. I liked the samples a lot, but was wary due to the incomplete website. I did get ahold of David Cohen, and he was very appreciate, and very frank. It sounds like they had some mics go out and the people who re-sold them were not the most reputable. The company made it clear thay want as much distance from those types of reps as possible.
I have been really happy with the mics, and I have shared as much as possible with my MN Tapers, and tried to post and get honest opinions on what others think of the mics. I know I am going to be a "little biased", because they are my mics, but I have gotten great feedback from a lot of sources that have been positive. Also in situations like the Gov't Mule concert I just posted, there were lots of us clamped to the same pole, so the good sound and very positive feedback is in comparison to some very identical recordings (placement-wise).
Anyway, I am hoping the company gets up and running. The more info and feedback, the better. Also, I am hoping that other caps hit the market at some point.
Per a request, I also posted the warm-up band (Donavon Frankenreiter)from the Gov't Mule show I posted yesterday. It is a smaller torrent, so feel free to give it a listen.
