As a lurking newbie I hesitate to reply to all the list, but I have been us=
ing the MKII all summer with a Telinga parabolic and some hydrophones and i=
t=92s been great.
I have not noticed any noise issues with the phantom.

I didn=92t have experience with the MK1 though so can=92t compare.

Here is a recording from a harbourfront on Lake Ontario in which the ambien=
t sounds would likely mask any preamp noise, but anyway=85 might give you s=
ome idea!
I have other recordings in quieter settings which I don=92t have handy at t=
he moment.
