Thank you! I did make a gaffe. The actual figure for the Neve noise

- it is in fact no better than my little Behringer. Ten years ago I
was designing satellite receivers working up at 12GHz. The noise
figure I was working to was 0.3dB.


Its a lot easier to reduce the noise figure at a narrow bandwidth at
microwave frequencies.

Narrow bandwidth? I don't call a bandwidth of nearly 2GHz narrow. And
asitappens, I can achieve these sorts of figure at audio as well.
