This at least indicates what might be lost and can direct you toward the cable that sounds the most like the direct connection.
For my testing of this I simply attach my mics directly to the pre-amps but I also built a very simple connector from two XLR connectors essentially soldered together back-to-back. This allows almost any mic to be plugged straight into the pre-amp. Cheap and easy to build.

PS, I can post some clips in the spirit of this forum if anybody is interested..... |
now we should start comparing connectormaterials used, soldermaterials, soldering iron, temperature, envirnoment humidity, the mood of the solderer, and the phase of the moon...
don't forget the musician who doesn't deserve a vovox-cable/braunermicrophone 99% of the time.
