Mic pre Noise test with/with out mic.

Some are not sure HOW much noise their mic pre is producing and how much the mic is
producing, So I did the following:
I recorded four tracks: with mic in two different rooms and one with a 150 ohm load so some can see HOW much difference there is between mic pre noise ONLY and with a mic in a quiet room and same mic in CTR with the typical background noise.
All 4 tracks are the same mic pre at max gain(62dB) going straight in to a CD burner with record level at max..
