as I understood the original version needs much more pressure applied to 
achieve the same output voltage.
I think it's a quatization problem. I put a simple LP filter in there 
and it got much better. A lag processor like Tony's Little Lag or a 
MOTM-820 should do a good job on this.
I did a frequency analysis on this and think the noise is from 
transients caused by quantizing.
As soon as they're smoothed out it's virtually gone.
