Ok, I guess you are referring to the Bon Iver thing, but I am using better equipment than that...

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.
Well, my whole setup is not trash, the only real questionable thing is the Mbox converters. So do you think even good equipment with Mbox converters will garner a "HUGE" difference in quality, or are you still referring to the idea of using a SM57 for the whole thing?
