Sorry if this is really a basic understanding for most of you, but I need t=
o ask...

How do you read the Microphone Input Noise Comparison chart at http://www.a=
visoft.com/recordertests.htm

As, I am researching to see what would be the best recorder I can buy next =
for my budget, I would like to know some of the specs of the different reco=
rders they have listed, but don't really know what I am looking at in those=
 charts.

Example...
I've heard a lot of people go on about Sony's PCM M10's low noise ability -=
 which I owned for a short time.

Yet the Olympus ls-14 on that chart has numbers, most which are lower than =
the Sony's PCM M10, yet when I tested that device IMO, it was nosier than t=
he Olympus LS-11


Can anyone provide a quick explanation of the chart?
thx.
