Tied to their RNC compressor, it's a potent combination for many tasks...I agree with ANY preamp that HAS COMPRESSION a a minimum requirement for a pre amp. At least in the insert channel if you are going to use mixer pres. I also agree your preamp requirements will change with the sensitivity of the mike you use. In you case you need a very quiet pre amp because you will be stuning up the heat on that mike.
Especially if you are or record singers who go from 12mph to 120 and don't want to worry about playing with the fader. IMO optical compressors are less "intrusive" and transparent. Tubes themselves can act as a slight compressor if you have a mild singer like a James Taylor.
