Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views?

Hi,

Has anyone ever heard this top of the line cost-no-object phonostage by Yamaha? The HX-10000 was released in 1987. It was part of their Centennial edition. Dual mono and all in big well isolated chassis. I love the vintage Yamaha phonostages but this one is rare and expensive so before I put my money down, I would like some inputs from you all. Anyone heard them? Whats your take on this unit?

Yahoo Japan - they come up from time to time -

Hifido last sold one for EU$3000 - at auction they can be had for much less than that.

So that's historical. You cannot buy one from Japan for half of 5000 Euro, now.

According to hifi shark, there are 3 for sale in the world, ranging in price from 2500 to 6500 euro. So, everyone is right on price.

If you want to sell your friends item at an inflated price then you should place an ad on Audiogon. The forums are not supposed to be used for selling your gear under the table.

I posted conservative values, a couple of them have sold in Japan for as low as EU$1000 is the past short while. It appears theophile is desperate to sell his friends unit at an inflated price, flouting audiogons rules in the process.
