Default Mic preamp comparison

All things were as equal as I could make them, other than the preamps.
Can you detect a difference? Do you like one better?

Later, I'll disclose the premps.

Due to my present situation, I have not listened, but need to mention................
The mic/preamp match is not a simple thing. Years ago I found that a certain SD mic sounded better through a Mackie preamp than my GML. I was surprised. I don't think it was due to a problem with the GML. I think a better mic would have sounded MUCH better with the GML than the SD mic in question sounded with the Mackie.
