No, not really.

microphone electronics!
For naturesound recordists: The weakest link shall always be the microphone=
!
Like the Telinga output: You need a VERY noisy mic amp to make itself heard
above the high output level.
It's something else with music and sound effects recording: Then you might
need a mic/preamp combination which can handle strong sounds. OR: Suppose
the special coloring of a certain microphone fits a certain singer
extremelly well? Then you have to deal with the fact that it's output is
weak, and need a fitting preamp, etc.
