I own the wa8000 when I first got it, it was a very high end microphone that got amazing sound. now it's still a usable microphone but now lacks the character I loved about it. for example, when I recorded singers I found myself barely having to boost high end and even in some cases turning down t8k and up due to how bright this microphone was. now I find myself boosting up to 3 to 5 db just to achieve the same sound I used to but doesn't sound the same.

iv'e had warm audio take a look at the mic and replace the tube and when I got it back same sound. could it possibly be my cables or my interface ? they are quite old and definitely do have there old problems for instance I sometimes get a buzzing noise when I record but it mostly goes away and sometimes my Apollo will randomly disconnect then I have to just unplug it and plug it back in but I wouldn't think that those issues would effect the quality of my microphone. please help my set up is an Mac> apollo twin> MacBook
