I have never connected a EM23 to Plug In Power without getting a low (13-14=
dbA) microphone noise. Never preamp noise!
The only time I have got preamp noise with Walkman-type recorders was with=
the newer versions of Sharp MD's. I wrote about it here. When using good 10=
mm electrets as the Primo EM100, which has a FET-IC, not only a FET, - the=
plug in power voltage provided by those Sharps go down to some 0,4v and the=
mic output drops 20 db. Then comes the preamp noise, of course.
This is a Sharp problem, using the same mic's with Sony works fine.
