What I do know is that it is a long time since mic noise was actually

I use an NT1-A and I can confirm that it is an extremely quiet mic.
What noise it is, as Scott says, is at the bottom end, and most
situations where you need the low noise figure are going to be ones
where you are in any case going to roll the bottom end back because
you are up close.

For the most part this is true.

But someday you're going to need to record a clavichord in a quiet room,
and then you're going to be glad as hell that the MKH-20 exists.
