Still I don't understand. This is not a question of quality or price, but
of logic:
If you can hear the difference between a 10 dbA and a 6 dbA microphone with=
a certain input, you can be sure that it is microphone noise you hear!
How can a preamp improve microphone noise?? The noise is already there,
before it enters the preamp!!!!!!
In my logic, the only thing a preamp can do, is amplify it??!!
Or is the world flat, after all?
