David,

I think that this observation still meets theory. We discussed this issue h=
ere many times (for instance at  http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/naturer=
ecordists/message/38171).

To summarize it, the SENSE HIGH, LEVEL 2 setting will first attenuate the i=
ncoming signal and then amplify it again by the same amount, which is cours=
e nonsense (the intermediate very low signal level in the signal chain will=
 then degrade the noise performance).

The SENSE LOW, LEVEL 10 setting on the other hand will just bypass this use=
less additional attenuation and subsequent amplification.

Regards,
Raimund
