I am getting better at mixing and tracking with each new recording and am thinking that a couple of channels of outboard preamps would be next logical step in the gear acquisition rabbit hole. I don't feel like I necessarily need out board eq or compression yet. I would rather spend the money on good preamps. I am willing to spend up to $2400 at this time.

If you are patient you can find nice deals on used preamps, and buying used opens up a lot of possibilities for what works within budgets. Also buying used, at a good price, minimizes the loss if you decide to sell later. If you're interested in a quiet/clean/transparent preamp, and want to hear only the performance/instrument/mic without added coloration from the preamp you could consider a used Gordon Model 5.
