so what are you recording? music or voiceover? if music, what type of music?

i would kill the BBE and phonic from the chain and get a better converter. it seems like you are trying to make up for things lost in your chain with them. simpler is better, especially for vocals. this is a typical vocal chain:

you
mic
cable
preamp
cable
converter

at times an eq or compressor is after the pre. i don't know of anyone who uses a bbe for recording. i use them live and for bass, but i find them horrible for studio use.
you have a good mic, good pre. how is your room and monitoring? you said you use a pseudo iso booth, but how is the room where you mix? how many types of sources will you record? will drums be part of the equation?
to quote johnny 5 from short circuit, "need more input."

see the constant barrage of variables?
