If your just starting out mics will make a much bigger difference then preamps. I'd invest money there. Between that and just doings lots of recording, mixing and A/B'ing to commercial CD's you'll start to get in the ballpark. It's once you've developed an ear and a mic collection that different preamps can start to shade things differently. If you want to read more, look for the shootout thread in Steve Remotes forum.

All you need to make a record is a mic, some tape and maybe some bad reverb...
