Seems like a matter of taste and budget overall. I loved the clarity/detail I immediately heard on the TF47. So for me, I’d drop the extra dollars for it Great comparison vid and great vocals!!
Telefunken TF47 price is between 2050-2200€ when WA47 is around 700-850€ in Europe. From my understanding both of them use a chinese capsule. The WA47 can be improved by changing some components from the circuit with ones of higher quality and for sure its sound will slightly improve even more. My personal opinion is that 2.1k € are better invested in a b-stock Neumann U87, M147 or Gefell M92.1 or M990 which are from another league.
The WA is better handling the highs and the TF mids but the WA can also handle the mids basically the TF is more broad the WA is dreamy… 🔥🔥🔥 can’t lose either way but I would go with WA

yeahh if you swap the tube inside wa47 then magic happens
I like the wa on your voice. I could see the tf working in a dense hard rock mix. Speaking of if you decide to sell that tf drop a line!

Dreamy is a good descriptor! I agree. I almost felt like the TF added a distortion to the mids to get it to sound that way.
