Yes, please ask your contact at Sound Professionals to clarify their
claim that a preamp with EIN of -115dBU sounds less noisy than a
minidisc mic preamp.

Let me display my poor understanding of the dBU scale:  If the
SP-Gigatracker has a preamp EIN of -115dBU and the Sound Devices 722
has a preamp EIN of -131 dBU, does the Gigatracker have twice as much
self-noise?
