Ok, so after vocal lessons and pot smoking and years of engineering experience ...

If you're starting with nothing, and needed to buy something (singing directly into the harddrive doesn't work), what would you buy for this voice? (rob zombie covering leonard cohen is as accurate a description as I can come up with) Assuming it's the only thing you want to record.

So far I think the only mic suggested is the SM7 and for pre's we've got Avalon vt737 or UA 610 then LA-2A (good as LA-610 combo?), or 1176, or Distressor compression. Short list. Not necessarily a bad thing if that's the consensus but I'd love to hear more gear-specific opinions before I go shopping.
