My explanation of the phenomenon goes like this: each amp has its own rando=
m noise, so summed together they add 3 dB of noise. But the two-amp configu=
ration increases the signal by 6 dB, so there's a 3 dB improvement in signa=
l-to-noise.

I use the same explanation for the salutary effects of Klas's multiple caps=
ules (in Telinga products). Though Klas sees it a different way, the result=
 is the same.
