if that means what i think it means (equivalent input noise), and i'm
not totally out of touch with the state of preamp technology, i'd say
all but the 106, the 99 and the ? are bogus. and i'm not even sure about
the 106 :)
i wonder who makes these figures up? or is there a legal way to doctor
the measurements to actually yield such values without being sued?
