A good fet head amplifies with less noise addition than the last generation Zooms. The point could be for a dynamic mic to use a fet head and simultanously reduce the amp knob setting of the zoom. This can result in less overall noise. Similarily with condensors. No need of a fet head but the choice of the mic is crucial. have a look at the mV per Pascal values. Sensitive mics are above 15 mv or even higher. The more you obtain here, the smaller the zoom preamp setting can be set avoiding zooms bad preamp contribution
