There's one on ebay at their moment for about £600 and it's worth it. You might spot mine on a certain sales site or two, but the sale is on hold since I tried this combo!

I’ve been using various MFA TVCs for years now. I’ve heard far costlier solutions but have never felt the need to change what I use. Wide open and resolving, neutral, balanced throughout the frequency range, it delivers all the emotion in the recording.
Not cheap mind although there’s always second hand options about, some great if you’re patient.
