Some advice about preamps or mics

I have $1500.00 the area in which I lack most in my studio (home studio)
Is a high-endvocal mic or preamp, my main mic now is a RODE NT1 and a PreSonus pre, if you had the money what would you get? a U87 vox mic or a high-endpre, I am not knowledgeable in this area I just know my vox arent up to par with the rest of the recordings, I use a 4X4 vocal booth,

Understanding A/D converters along with Mic Pre

I'm on my continual journey to get the best home recording environment (I can afford) and was talking with another friend (session percussionist) about gear.

The subject of quality mic preamp's came up (which I understand for the most part) but then along with it he said that a good sound was dependent on A/D Converters (Analog to Digital).

Great tube mic preamp recommendations for $500 or under?

After years of running my AKG C414 direct into a board in my home studio, I have decided that I need to step up and buy a tube mic preamp. Problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to start. There are a lot on the market and I don't have enough time to read recording magazine reviews every month, so I'm hoping for some guidance.
