What I mean is I think any good preamp can do a great job at recording anything, and that it doesn't matter so much as long as it's a quality Pre.
My take: The difference between 2 quality preamps - subtle
The difference between 2 microphones - say, a SM7 and a KM184 - not subtle
The difference between a treated and untreated room - nowhere near subtle.
The difference between a nice, well setup guitar and a sloppy cheap one - not subtle
When you think about it like that - it's clear where your dough should go.
