Would a simple Focusrite preamp be enough gain with phantom power or does this need a cloudlifter/fethead like the Shure?

Yes it'd work great with a Focusrite preamp. We've even tested that combo and it sounds great together. If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (seller pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio

How would this work with a scarlett and a dbx compressor?

I got Scarlett solo (2nd gen) + dbx 286s and it works great!

What happened to the “Subzero” branding? I got one but it no longer say’s subzero, just S.

I have a Subzero, but it just says 540 s. Even Lewitt is just using S now. Not sure why the change but description and ultra low self noise is still the same

How would i connect this mic to my pc for recording voice in audacity? is there a usb option?

Unfortunately since this microphone requires phantom power (48v), yiu need an interface to power the mike and connect it to your pc. I use a Focusrite 4i4 but you can use any interface device which will provide phantom power and connect it to your USB input.
