I'd assume by tube mic pre - you mean a mic preamp based on vacuum tubes? Tube preamps - rather like tube guitar amps - are generally considered to offer a warmer and more musical sound to a solid state preamp. As an example Neves and Chandler were tube based whereas SSL made their fortune and reputation on solid state. The former tend to be more synonomous with a warm sound whereas the latter can be heard on an awful of of late 80s and 90s electronic and dance.
A good tube pre-amp will set you back easily more then 1500US dollars. As it stands people are still more then willing to pay a lot of money for vintage tube pre amps. However if you mean a preamp for a vacuum tube microphone . Vac tube mics need both a separate power supply and often more gain then a dynamic mic. Whilst the mic should be supplied with the power supply any preamp that needs to feed a vac mic may need to take additional gain required. In that case you may need a pre that can deliver up to 60dB gain. This tends to be more true of the older tube mics - newer ones from the likes of Rode probably can be run off a standard preamp's gain range.
