I know the gain is greater in this mic so it can be to levels lower on my mic pre to match the same level as my other condenser microphone. So that's good as you really aren't bothered by the noise. When you push the fader up loud to listen you can hear the noise clearly.
AHA. I just re-read your post and think I may have the answer. I don't believe you need to run the MXL through another preamp. The on-board circuitry should already output a line-level signal. Going through an external preamp is just going to amplify the inherent noise already there. Another thought: Maybe the noise is coming from the mic's power supply (not the same as a preamp). Of course, I haven't touched a tube mic in over 20 years. Your mileage may vary (and other disclaimers). Ah... Okay that makes sense. I am running through a Class A mic pre. My question on that is if I skip that and go through my mixer that has a mic pre built in it as well naturally. Except your adding on that channel strip as well, all that is on the boards circuitry. Wait! You gave me an idea Kevin.... The phantom power comes through the mic pre or the mic pre on the mixer. I by pass the mixer with my mic pre in other words it is wired straight to my 24 track machine. The tube mic uses it's own POWER supply like you said so...
What if I shut off the phantom power on the mic pre, see if the mic still works and if the noise is reduced...

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
