I actually have no idea how to go about researching
mics. I suppose this can't be done by just looking
at the specs, right? They all say xxHz - 20KHz. One
advantage of a gain stage would be the independence
from the minidisc buttons. I could mount a conveniently
located potentiometer on the handle of the Edmunds
dish...
