Hi again Rob,
Clearly I didn't realise how 'quiet' the AT3032's were!
OK, you having now confirmed that it IS worth doing the test, I will. Unfor=
tunately I live in a fairly noisy location close to a major road, so I migh=
t have to get up in the middle of the night to do this test! As soon as I h=
ave I will post. Two more questions; will 24/48 be OK, and am I right in th=
inking that you'll want the excerpts as original?
All the best
Max
