AGCurry,
I found it very interesting and made some experiments. I measured the tuning frequency of the ribbon in both, vertical and horizontal positions.They were nearly identical. In any case the tuning frequency difference of about 10-15Hz would result in about 1 db cut. I think the explanation of "better bass" in tilted ribbon mic is in worse vertical polar response of longer ribbons on high frequencies. Harvey, could you confirm if I answered the first part of my question?
I am still wondering about second part--RCA mic.
