Yes. It seems the older model Sharp MD's, in particular, have a
definite edge on PIP voltage over Hi-MD. My fingers are crossed that
the lower specified voltage for the wl93 means better performance on
Hi-MD. The NH900 and RH910's I measured with Klas' capsule showed
only .42 volts under load. If so, I'm wondering if the low-end
"bottoming out" problem we have discussed and Curt has tested will
not be as present too. 4-5dBA less self-noise is not a huge, so its
good to know and weigh other advantages/disadvantages. Rob D.
