It is much better through this tube preamp. I then instead of using the high pass filter I just boost the low a little and cut back the high end and it's sounding good.
How are you listening to what you have recorded? I ask because often the equipment used to monitor a previous recording is inaccurate, sometimes to an extreme.

A second question. Have you compensated for the Rode NT4's proximity effect with your mic placement(s)? Each mic has a cardioid polar pattern and each generates excessive bass response if placed too close to the source.
