Good. Maybe there's still hope for me. I think one is considerably 
more likely to detect differences between mics in stereo pairs than 
differences in sound quality between good pres. Rob D.
I think there is more than just hope for you Rob.

If there is one thing I have learnt whilst being on this group is you have a 
fine pair of ears!

I am often amazed at some of the insight you are able to draw from listening to 
peoples recordings, from some detail you hear you are able to discern some 
topographical feature where the recording was made!
