It is interesting.
Some of the best recordings on our planet are done with an electron tube microphone. An obvious example is CBS recordings done at Columbia 30th street converted church in New York. Ray Conniff for example.
Some of the best reproduction is done by a single ended triode class A power amplifier.
The interesting part is that in producing and reproducing from the brain of the performer to the brain of the listener the closest amplifiers are almost identical.
How similar is the schematic of a Neumann U47 microphone to the schematic of the 300B output stage!
One difference is that the microphone has the output transformer coupled to,the electron tube through a capacitor.
On the Pleiades V6 battery microphone pre preamplifier the output transformer is directly coupled to the electron tube.
The V6 can be connected to a world class dynamic microphone too. So in fact it plays the part of what amplifier world class condenser microphones have inside them as front end. Lefteris Logaridis gave a very important spark by suggesting years ago building a VF14 amplifier based on the schematic of U47.
