Walt, I think 3db represents a *doubling* of the sound level. So 1db would
be a noticable and significant difference... but how repeatable are your
measurements? Did you try each one many times, or just once/a few times?

I think your results would be more statistically valid if you tested more OM
bodies in each configuration... which means you need to buy more OM's -- all
in the interest of science, of course!

OM-1's, -2's, -4's, (no -3's yet) and no OM-oney...
