Apples and oranges: mic pre output coupling is a totally different story.

Mic pre input coupling is the harder thing to do: the signal-mic level- is (relatively) unprocessed and weak at this stage, so any processing or manipulation will have more audible artefacts at that stage than further downstream, where line level is the rule.

Not just level, but IMPEDANCE.

A tiny reactive nonlinearity of a few ohms throughout the wave cycle may be utterly inaudible in a bridging impedance coupling, but in a low load impedance, and with other complex passive factors which come into play at mic impedances, and -as Klaus observes- at such low levels, other nonlinear factors also loom into significance.

I have the feeling that I have more experience in my little finger than you do in your whole body about audio electronics..
