Yes, we know that a $4000 preamp is better than a $1000 dollar preamp and recorder.
What is your point? Are you suggesting anyone who buys one of your mics should not use a Zoom F8? That would appear to contradict the text on your website where you specifically recommend ….. the Zoom F8. We also ran a second measurement at higher gain., What do you actually want, other than to hijack this study, again, and make it all about your specific microphones, noisy, low sensitivity, whatever. It needs to stop. I had to block you on Facebook for precisely this reason and you have been banned from several Facebook groups for similar offences. Please, just give it a rest. You are making yourself look like a fool.
