Recent review on Gearslutz
Wanted to pop back on here.
I tried another transformer the other day and was pretty stoked by it. It's the FAB 4196. Warmed up the mids and lows but also added a crispness to the highs that isn't at all harsh. Very smooth and musical. Been recording with it for several days now. Like if a ribbon and a condenser had a love child that inherited each of its parent's best traits 
Other nice thing about it is the volume (1:48 turn ratio). Much louder than a T25 or Cinemag. In fact, I was able to get a usable sound without adding either a Fethead or Cloudlifter. On a vocal, it allowed me to back way off the mic to combat the R40's proximity effect.
At any rate, as the holidays approach, Musician's Friend is bound to run the R40 for $59.99 on one of its Stupid Deals of the Day (they do every year). You throw a FAB 4196 on it for about $55 more and have yourself a heck of a ribbon mic for $115.
