Thanks for the clarification though, of course, the intent of the post was only to show appreciation for someone who maintains, in immaculate condition, a console that a number of great artists chose to use for making their records. Not to attempt to plump up the reputation of the TSM. And no doubt some of the artist's choices had to do with budget, availability, etc. and the TSM may not have been their first choice in the sonics department.
Did the A range become a console of choice across the board in terms of genre... rock, pop, classical, broadcast? (I'm not a professional AE and was on the other side of the glass in those days on film/tv dates, not really paying much attention to gear. As time went on I certainly worked out that a good AE/mixer was worth their weight in gold. And then some...)
