i notice with ribbons i particularly enjoy (as i would with any other mic type), those give greater depth or dimension to the source. I don't know how else to describe it, maybe 'realism' or 3D? only in the past year or so as i regained interest in mics did i realize many of my favorites had the toroidal as the sole common factor (vs. various ribbon thickness and length, head basket geometry, etc.) some companies go so far as to explicitly associate a model's depth as being due using a toroidal tx.
so, any thoughts as to what it is about toroidals that helps impart this? i suppose part of the trouble is that depth and dimension are not as easy to quantify as a FR graph, so let's see where the discussion leads...
