Too many preamps in recording chain? SOLVED

Stratman68

Axe-Master
I am new to the Scarlett, not to recording. But I really never had an AI with superior (or real good?) mic pre's.
too many preamps?
I presently am usingf a Stellar Large Diaphragm Tube condenser. good clone of one of the higher end whatevers. It is over 10 yrs old but stays in my home studio.
So, at present. I am running the mic thru it's own tube preamp (just level boost I imagine) then to the warm Audio wa12 (original one, not mkII) and then, jeeezzz to the 18i20 mic preamp input.. sounds like, well heavy duty overkill.
Before I start swapping cables, etc I was wondering what this ugly chain might be doing-good or bad.
