Trashy pre amps if they can even be called pre amps, (M-audio) im buying up more and more M-audio stuff just to "get the job done"
My Mic is $200, untreated room.
I do think its not possible to use a squire strat and a solid state amp and get a good tone though, but a $99 tube amp and new pickups could sound as good as a $2000 strat, might not stay in tune long..

wow. Room treatment is one of those very important things you do. I do wonder how long some people have been doing this to know if their ear is actually developed to hear a difference in a vocal recorded in a treated room and an untreated room. Also the vocal quality with a great signal chain.
M-Audio stuff is not awful, I have never been impressed by the sound. I want a sound that is different. The problem with the M-Audio stuff is that it sounds boring bland, and 90% of the semi pro stuff out there. While I dont think a name is everything, I still notice a quality in high end equipment.
I do think your last statement about the guitar is ridiculous. Being a guitar player for 12 years I feel I can contribute to this. A $99 amp is going to sound like a $99 amp (noisey in a bad way, underpowered, and thin). Now if you are playing that $2000 strat through the $99 amp then it will still sound trashy. Also if you have $2000 invested into a $99 amp then your priorities are all screwed up.
Note:I realize that I am throwing you in there, it is not directed towards anyone I am just in the moment. Please dont think I am attacking you. If you are happy then that is good, I am curious to hear your stuff.
