One thing I found interesting in the Sherwood report is that the 10 year old
Omni VI+ Dynamic Range data at 20KHz and 2KHz figures are within 3 dB of the
latest and greatest IC-7800. In most measurement applications such as this
an error of 1 dB is certainly understandable so these numbers could actually
be closer than that.
