Hi Lou,
Could be. Did we hear from Juan Carlos about which "tc digital
preamp" he used? I think treble emphasis would have to be in effect
with MKH-60's and not with the NT1-A. I don't believe there's a HF
emphasis option in dobroide's recording set-up.
I do think its fairly clear that a rating of 10dB(A) self-noise (or
higher) for both MKH-60's is more consistent with both tests than
6dB(A) self-noise would be. There are some inconsistencies in the
tests that prevent me from reaching any conclusions at this point.
Maybe we'll have to leave the question open pending other clues. Rob
