A couple things:
I can confirm the cracks and wrinkling in the reskinned Berlin capsule. I would not say "unusable," about the sound, but I did not care for it. If that fact that I would not use it in my make makes it unusable, then so be it. But to me, unusable means that it's completely unlistenable.
I also think the implication that Oliver is badmouthing Gefell because he is making mics now, is a bit silly. Not only because I agree with his assessment of the capsule, but also because Lucas mics are not competing with Gefell's market share. Besides, you don't presell over 300 mics, without people hearing them, because you've said Gefell capsules are crap. It makes no sense.
Also, I would be careful perpetuating that idea, because I keep hearing this story, with your name attached to it. Your name carries weight, and I've had two people tell me a similar story, preceded by, "Fletcher told me."
Anyway, since when did Stayne start using a CK12 type capsule? I am only familiar with him using center terminated capsules, both single and dual backplate. I would also take issue with referring to his work as "VERY impressive." I have yet to hear a Mag Mic that has made me want to use one on a session, particularly the dual backplate one. The one I heard was very "spitty," and prone to proximity effect in a way that made me question the implementation of that capsule on that amplifier.
