Transformer upgrades for ribbon mics are no longer the sole purview of the mic modder crowd — now Cascade, MXL, and Oktava are offering factory-upgraded ribbon microphones with CineMag and Lundahl transformers.

Here are the highlights of my NAMM 2009 photos — Tama and Craviotto drums, mics from Cascade, Nady, Violet, AEA, Mojave, and some celebrity shots too. (Hey, we’re all fanboys inside, at least sometimes.)
