Hi Andrew
Thank you very much for posting that file. From the figures alone I
could not understand any difference, but your recording shows that the
Mixpre is indeed far quieter.

I would be facinated to hear a similar kind of test comparing the line
inputs of the Olympus LS-10 and the Sony PCM-D50. I wonder if anyone
has made any?

How much battery life are you getting from the Mixpre?

What is it that doesn't satisfy you about your current setup?

Yes, very. Thank you very much
