JM,
Through everyone's help here, and subsequent testing, I can certainly attest to 
the accuracy of the info you just got. I was just floundering over the same 
predicament. Now I have a renewed appreciation for my Sennheiser ME-66 at 10 db 
self noise ... I wonder if you can get better than that?!?  BUT it is a long 
mic.  

For miniaturization, I wonder if it's capsule can be obtained separately and 
the peripheral circuit be mimicked ...hmmm.

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Preamp : need advice

Hello, 

I'd like to by a preamp to insert between my Marantz PMD-620 and an
AudioTechnica AT-822. 
This would be mainly to record quiet ambiences, natural sounds. 

Which preamp would you the suggest? 
(BTW, I'm also interested in a small one..) 

I saw a few ones who could interest me : 

- CHURCH AUDIO ST-9100 STEREO MICROPHONE PREAMP 
http://cgi.ebay. com/CHURCH- AUDIO-ST- 9100-STEREO- MICROPHONE- 
PREAMP_W0QQitemZ 250198674711QQih Z015QQcategoryZ3 281QQcmdZViewIte 
mQQ_trksidZp1742 .m153.l1262

- There is also a smaller version but it has only +20 db, would it be
enough acccording your experience?

Kind regards,
