I think most of the quality control issues are not with cascade's ribbons. They are an American company that re-ribbons Chinese ribbon mics and makes a few other adjustments like changing the head basket and offering transformer upgrades. Maybe a lemon gets sent out very occasionally, but I would have a hard time believing it's anything like the Chinese ones - I mean, why go to the trouble of re-ribboning and then leaving it slack like a rubber band? That said, I'm curious what mods Michael Joly offers on Fatheads, I know his ribbon of choice is even thinner than the Cascade one (which is waaaay thinner than the stock one), but Cascade already offers the Lundahl/Cinemag transformer upgrade. I'm curious, because I just bought a pair of Fathead 1's myself.
