If mic preamp components are inexpensive like Klas says, why wouldn't 
a more specialized manufacturer like Edirol put in a quiet pre? Such 
a critical part of a recorder. The Sharp MT-90's mic pre (I just 
tested it last night) is quite noticeably noisier than the newer Sony 
NH-900 HiMD recorder. Very difficult to know what's what these days 
with recorders.  Rob D.
