Ok, there is definitely a difference in sound quality between tracks recorded thru a sm57/RNP/m box and tracks recorded with a u87/neve/aurora or apogee conv.
If you can't hear it then you need to train your ears more. Until then as mentioned by others you don't need to upgrade gear, just practice with the gear you have.
Most new comers (1 to 3 years in recording) will read forums etc... and expect a HUGE difference between a low end vocal chain and a high end one.
it's crazy how "little" the difference is in sound on a SOLO vocal track for example compaired to how much money you have to invest to get a high end vocal chain....BUT it all comes to down to the final product.
If you record an entire song (vocals plus stacks, bass, drums, guitars, synth, piano etc...) thru a low end setup with low end converters (EG Mbox) once it's time to put it all together and mix it ...you will hear a HUGE difference!! I can guarantee it!!
High end gear will give you that pro sound even when stacked and if it was recorded properlly will make mixing MUCH easier as you don't really have to "FIX" anything but more make everything fit with eachother.
