Haven't we had this discussion quite frequently? I am asking those who can
explain, but even with Sound Device's low noise preamps, there would still
be nothing gained by going up to 96, would there? Wouldn't the noise and
definition at nature recording levels retain an optimum level for even the
lowest mic noise and SD preamp combination?

Perplexed with Warm Regards,
