I understand what you are saying. But let me ask you this. If you are recording a signal with a very wide dynamic range, would it not make sense to add a bit of compression/limiting with an out board compressor. You could then record with a bit higher level without fear of clipping, and then you would get a better signal to noise ratio – especially if you were recording in a slightly noisy environment?

Don’t know what the problem is, but until you figure it out you should use the noise reduction tool in Adobe to reduce the problem. It can be quite effective.
