Hi Micah,

well, most of my 80s synths are having a good amount of noise floor, my MT32 even 
produce a slight high hum. Not audiable with the crappy mixer I used by that time 
but not remotely as clean as todays synthesizers...
I never worked with cartridges, but I think I remember ppl. had a discussion 
about that topic some time ago, you might find something by searching thru older 
postings...
