Okay. As the Rodes' self noise is evident with both of these pres,
your Mic2496 is performing  ~7dB(A) better than Bob projected.

We'll see how Eric's test goes. If MT2496's pre masked the self noise
of your Sony MS-957, that's not very promising.

Okay, looks like you were using ~53dB gain in your test. Rob D.
