Professional Microphone Recommendations for Soulful Vocals?

When hardware significantly impacts the warmth and clarity of the vocal delivery. For those involved in home studio recording, which condenser microphones do you find best capture the nuances of a powerful yet breathy vocal range?

I’m currently comparing the Shure SM7B with the Neumann TLM 103 for high-frequency detail. I’d love to hear your thoughts on signal chains or pre-amps that enhance vocal presence without losing the "raw" emotional texture. Any recommendations for mixing plugins that specialize in soul-style compression would also be highly valued. Keep the technical insights coming!
