As I currently have only myself to please, I 'get away with it'. I understand this is not popular at the high-end, and not your practice.
So, I am curious about how the mic stands up in isolation [absent a tube preamp or compressor]? Don't know if anything like the DAD Pre/DAC circuits are handy in your shop - or that you would have time to fool with such a notion. And I get that wouldn't be your choice.
But I am curious about your thoughts on use cases for the H47tube in that scenario? And how its 'straight in' sound/response strikes you?
A bad person,

Dear Mr. Bad Person -
Sorry, none of my interfaces have mic preamps. Avid HD 16x16's.
PS - I should have put a smiley emoticon here. Several of them....here : 
Having a decent mic pre seems pretty important IMO. Not sure how the AVID's stack up. Never used em. I like the ability to "drive" my pre's how I like em, but the WT72's don't have that option. But they were handy, and ready to go - so that's what I used. I'll be trying out the Silver Bullet, Chroma, Coil, and other pre's soon....
I hope.
