The Sme is simply a reflection of how well you partner and use it.It is neither dull nor exciting..that is the job of the music.

SME V: easy to set up (and stays set up), and easy to use. The stylus plops down exactly where you had aimed. Sounds good, too.

My ancient old Mørch UP4 makes my nipples go stiff whenever I use it so I'd say it scores ok on the "Pleasurometer" scale.
Love the bling on da thing
