On the source end (leaving out musicians or room types), my mics a

- Soundelux U195
- Josephson C42 (Stereo pair)
- Lots of SM57's

My mic-preamps a

- 4 channels of RNP
- 20 channels of Crest XR20 preamps

My DAW comprises of:

- 2 x Delta 1010LT's, giving me 16 inputs (only 4 of them balanced).
- Running Cubase SX 2.0

My other external gear comprises of:

- 1 Lexicon PCM-80
- 1 Aphex Dominator II
- 2 x RNC's

Now I know I am a bit (!) low on microphones

Your mic collection looks reasonable, but it depends on what you're
recording.

is there any "unbalance" in my signal chain
? Or is everything about as good as eachother ? Is there anything
perhaps worth upgrading to "flatter" something else in the chain ?

I'd be a little suspicious of the Delta 1010 - they pack a lot of
stuff into a small package for not very much money. But then you
probably can get more bang for the bucks you'd spend on 16 channels of
high quality A/D conversion by adding a little variety to your mic
collection.

But you didn't ask about your monitoring chain, so I will. What are
you listening with? How do you know what your recordings really sound
like? (or when do you learn what they sound like?)
