Very helpful to know, Bruce. I wonder if the consistency with noisy
balanced line inputs on the MT is a coincidence or similar cost
saving short cuts? Perhaps transformer costs?

I happened across similar comments by Jay Rose about the HD-P2 on the
rec.arts.movies.production.sound list last night:
ttp://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.movies.production.sound/browse_threa=
