Without a doubt, there was a capsule that stood above the rest throughout the listening test: The Neumann. For me it simply has a character of making you ‘being there’ that the others lack. I was specially impressed by the way it deals with the transients and how the different ways of attacking the strings are transmitted. As for the rest, my second and third choice would be the Wagner and the Thiersch PE. Lou Ximenez

I found the exact same thing.
Most of the time, the other ones only showed boring sound (in comparison). With maybe the exception of the Thiersch PVC.
But, if i learned something about listening tests, it is that the order of listening counts. the lenght here was really appropriate. But i feel there should be markers in this kind of test. If you have 6 capsules to include in the test, make at least an 8 samples list, with redundant capsules.
The first and last position is also tricky. I've found the way we listen is not at all linear.
Klaus, what about this new M7??
