googling some of the article titles at the bottom of the review I managed to 
locate the original article - far less entertaining:

http://homerecording.about.com/od/microphonereviews/fr/at4022_review.htm

Going back and reading Eric Benjamin's AT3032 posts personally I can't see 
anything that supports a claim for 8dB self noise for the AT3032's.  Eric 
stated that the AT3032 were slightly quieter than the MK2's so we are relying 
on the MK2's matching the manufacturers spec of 11dB to derive a figure a sub 
11dB figure the AT3032.  My experience in comparing with Andrew Skeoch's  MKH20 
SASS rig is that the MKH20 are a  quieter mic. Walt Knapp's comparisons of the 
AT3032 and MKH20 in SASS rigs seems to indicate the same thing, and I feel this 
sets the lower limit for the AT3032 at around 11dB self noise. 

A side by side comparison of AT3032 and AT4022 would be something I'd be very 
interested to hear.

cheers
