Thanks very much, Aaron. This is really helpful info, I appreciate it. I've
also been pretty happy with the built-in mics, especially when I first got the
unit.
Maybe it's just a matter of perception or my imagination - But, I get the
feeling that the built in mics aren't as sensitive as they used to be. I've
been starting to worry a bit. I was thinking that I may have somehow negatively
affected the unit (or it's built-in-mics) by experimenting with so many of my
DIY mics & pre-amps... I wonder if this is possible?
I also really enjoy your site! Great stuff!
