My stand out favorite and best sounding to my ear was my old M3. (which I sadly sold when a pressing need for money arose) sr. 701243, a very early M. This had the silkiest most buttery sound with not a trace of sharpness, where as my M4-2 and M-6 both sound a bit louder and have a more truncated beginning and end. John
