When purchasing AT3032s, what is the best way to assure ending up with
a fairly well matched pair?
When I bought my NT1As, I walked into the store, asked if they had a
pair with sequential serial numbers, they did so I bought them, and I
have never noticed any big difference between the two.
For AT3032s, I inquired with one supplier if they could provide me two
with seqential serial numbers, but they said they couldn't because the
numbers were not printed on the outside of the sealed box. I was
thinking of arranging to buy three or four, keep the two lowest-noise
and best-matched two and return the others. My challenge would be
determining which two were best matched. Any suggestions on how I
would go about comparing them in my fairly noisy urban home? Or any
suggestions on how to find someone qualified to do the necessary testing?
