I think the first thing that needs to be done is that you need to get your butt behind some mics and figure out what you want.
Right now, I'm bouncing between a U87 and Horch as my first choices.
LA-610... I won't touch it without getting rid of the crappy tubes they send you. I've never heard such a difference until some Mullards or Telefunkens were swapped in (for VO, I kinda liked the Telefunkens). It's the only reason I kept my 610 (and yeah, I'll be adding a Fearn or Requisite for my home area next year... watch out Fletcher).
For the most part, figure out what mic you want (for the love of God make sure you've spent some time behind it first)... then use a good clean preamp, (GML, Great River, Hardy, etc.; I'm loving an LMNOPre right now), do the same with a compressor, and voila' you've got a chain.
