It's now your fault that I probably will buy one of these,
however, the 3000 says 4.7mv signal, the 4000 says .7mv signal.

Is that a typo? Makes me think of recent MC thread with too weak/too strong issue, looking for SUT with only 5 or 6 x factor.

It's unique, but not a line-contact/shibata/sas/micro-linear correct? that's why I think of it as an 'advanced elliptical' although that doesn't sound 'special enough'.. I've never seen a true comparison, perhaps you know of one.
It has incredible 35db channel separation. I don't see a channel balance rating.
