Why you claim to get 4-7dB less noise by adding some crap to the line

trust your measurements? Do you even have a way to make a calibrated
measurement of any sort?

I've got years of experience with Powell. Jim Johnson (then of AT&T labs)
and I went around in circles with Powell many times on RAO back in the days
when it was an audio forum. Powell tried to get AT&T to fire JJ.

You've already vastly exceeded Powell's ability to hold a factual
conversation.

It's highly likely that this Art MPA Gold is the only mic preamp that Powell
has ever had his hands on in his life.
