Default Best vocal mic/pre combo for PT HD

I know there are infinite opinions on this, but would be grateful for the latest thinking on a killer combo to front end Pro Tools. I have a Neumann TLM103 and Avalon M5 and, they are ok, but am interested in a tube/creamy front end. What Mics and pre's go well together to achieve this and a great vocal sound.

Many thanks

try a neve 1073 to an LA2A
or the groove tube ViPre to an LA2A or TubeTech CL-1B
tube tech also makes a great sounding pre the MP1A run that to an LA2A or the GT Glory Comp. You will get lots of tube saturation and lots of that tube warmth/coloration with any of these.

also the SSL channel strip is great b/c you can really dial in the sound you want with it using the onboard EQ and dynamics.

I use a Lawson MP47 tube mic into a Manley tube pre when I want creamy vocals. The Lawson is variable and gives you a lot of options to adjust the sound to the vocalist. Throw a Distressor in there too and Ahhhhhhhh.
