Werner, given the the veracity with which you have been attacking my products lately and trying to derail the customer experience with the Capella, I can only conclude that you must have ulterior motives. What are readers supposed to make of this thread about the Capella, when the apparent virtues of far more expensive equipment is offered as evidence as a far better product without any evidence to back up that claim? What threat exactly does the Capella pose to the likes of Shiit and SPL? Of course my far lower price and legendary value for money position is bound to be viewed as a worrying prospect? But I am not in the market to defend the status quo. Given the economic situation in the EU especially, customers are now looking with even more intensity at more cost effective solution. It's no use flashing a £1200 headphone amp in front of their face when their needs and finances are in search of something just as good and affordable in price and desk space. Given the level of interest shown in the Capella by both casual users and professional organisations, I am once again onto something good here it seems. If some other headphone companies are starting to feel uneasy about the high level of performance of the Capella, then so be it. But that's not reason enough to descend upon the Capella thread as if it is a dangerous competition that could destroy the market for the less capable and overpriced competition. Ambush marketing have been used on me before and on many occasion. I just hope that potential buyers are wise enough to see through that and try out the Capella.
