seriously, how many times I've heard this exactly with maybe a few variations (87 for 47, la2a for 1176 and ssl instead of EMI). Probably makes up a huge % of the answers to the "what was your signal chain?" questions of most top 40 engineers.
Probably why most popular music sounds the same to me, production-wise anyway. Not to say it sounds bad, but just the same.
One thing I think I come back to in my own recordings is taking my time. I can rush setting up a lot and overlook something, or not take the time to fix something, you know its all downhill from there...
