Ok, my next experiment will be to remove both the outdoor pre-amp/transformer piece and the indoor power supply piece. Previously, I experimented by removing just the power supply piece on the inside of the house and the signal was much worse. I will report on the outcome.

The mast mounted unit may have one or two inputs. If two, one is usually for VHF and the other for UHF. There can be any combination of 300 ohm twin-lead or 75 ohm coax input and output. It sounds like you may have a short section of 300 ohm twin-lead from the antenna to the amplifier and the output is 75 ohm coax.
I would be very curious to know how your system performs when you remove the amp and power supply. If there is a short section of twin-lead between the antenna and amp now, a matching transformer will be needed.
