@yoyoyaya I have heard the SME 3009, but not for a few years now, the one I used to be able to be demo'd in use after my own very long period of not using one, was a model that had been stripped back and all parts that were an interface, having been honed to a very high level of finish.
I was demo'd this TA in use with MC's and a few MM's, I can't fault its presentation with a MM, from recollection there was much on offer to be attracted to.
I do recollect with the MC, the presentation was reigned in a little more to what I know the MC Model could usually present as.
