Meaning a +5db vs a -5db on a certain speaker will have a lower apparent noise because the overall volume level can be set lower?
The trims now effect the level of the noise, as does the main volume control. You will not have any penalty for not having level controls on your power amps. Basically, you will be able to reduce either the trims by 8db, or simply listen with the main volume control lower by 8db, to realize the reduction in noise. Also, the absolute noise has been reduced by approximately 4db overall. The 'character' of the noise is also different; it is now more of a "Shhhhh" verses a "HIsssss" in the non-modified 950. That makes what noise that remains less "hissy" to the ear, and less objectionable.
