I heard it in many scenarios. I had one for a while when I was obsessing over the U47 sound. It was an early one with a Peluso capsule and Tamura transformer and the Telefunken steel EF14 tube. The circuit board was later upgraded by Dave.
I was on a U47 obsession binge at the time and ended up with the Pearlman, a BeesNeez Tribute and finally a Telefunken U47 with VF14 tube and Thiersch reskinned M7 Neumann capsule. I was able to compare the three.
The Pearlman sounded incredible and I would have easily sold the Tribute and kept the Pearlman if I didn't have the Telefunken U47.
Now I just have the Telefunken but that Pearlman still remains in my memory as the best bang for buck. I still use the Beatles Pop Filter on my U47.
I used it with many preamps and it sounded great. One of my favorites was an LA2A>Langevin 5116. I am a tube amp freak. But it was also stellar with my AML ez1073. I could give a list of preamps but the mic is the tool that rules in this case.
