1) It might just be that some people received units that were not up to snuff, used different components in places, or were broken. They would report a different situation than the people who got good working units.

2) It has already been mentioned, but it is also apropos that some may not be the fine sound engineers that they think they are.

3) Others may just be biased and trying to prove a point on an internet forum.

4) A "shootout" using a lot of different computers, soundcards, mics, rooms, noise floors, etc. isn't a fair shootout as all other aspects besides the mic pre are not equal in the first place.

5) Who cares?
