Dude, I think your head is in the right place. Your KSM44 is not your problem that mic is fine. I would however recommend any of the following for it on vocals: (I don't know your budget,but...)
Manley Mono - for vocals & bass, this would be my first choice, the tube will help out the almost always interpreted crispiness of the KSM.
John Hardy - Killer top end for vocals
Millenia - similar to the John Hardy many say, but just a different vibe, I like the Hardy a lot better.
ISA110 - these are not made anymore and IMO the newer ISA stuff just doesn't sound the same. I've seen bloaks getting rid of these for aroun $1500 and these have a killer sound on just about anything.
Great River - Probably the best all around pre on the market that is still being made. Has sowter tannies in it that are design a la Neve. I don't own one because I have my own system comprised of other pres that I use on specific instruments and voices and they work for me, but nonetheless if you don't have the variety of pres I have, this is probably the best place to start for 1 or 2 channels of great all around preamplification.
Best wishes buddy...
