The myth of preamp snobbery?

I think no-one has mentioned monitoring yet. Do you have the right converters and monitors (high-end) and is your control room treated properly to be able to hear differences? I once did a test between a high-end Focusrite pre and a NEVE clone. That difference was so dramatic that I never bothered buying any decent pre unless I can afford the really great stuff.
 
I notice that you are using pretty good mics.

If you are already getting everything out of your mics that your want then the only thing you want from your preamp is not to mess it up. No doubt that a cheap preamp can remove a lot of goodness that is in the signal. But those that are looking for their preamp to 'add' something, by definition, are feeling that they are lacking something in the signal coming from the mic.
