Opinions of Luxman L-507ux Integrated

I am considering the purchase of a Luxman L-507ux integrated.  I do realize that there is now a L-507uxII, but I am interested in the older model.  I have searched A'gon, google and You Tube, and while there is a little information out there it hasn't helped much.  I won't have a chance to listen to it prior to a potential purchase.

Most will not have heard of my Avance speakers.  They are 89dB, 6 ohms, so all things being equal this integrated should have power to drive them with ease.

Please provide any information you can on the sonic qualities of this integrated, both the good and any negatives.  It would be great if anyone can compare it to the new L-507uxII version or other brand integrateds that would be in the same general price range used (about $4,000).   Also, if anyone has heard this unit and the Parasound Halo Hint it would be helpful to hear you opinions on how the units compare.

Thanks

I have had one for a few years and am very happy with it.  I am a record collector with lots of old 45s and 78s not always in the best condition.  I wanted something that wouldn't make rough records sound worse than they are and still play good recordings in all their glory.  It has been just great for this. The phono pre is really good.  There are tone controls and a mono button so the thing is perfect for me.  Sound is just a bit towards the warm side of neutral, balanced in a way that I can't imagine anyone disliking though, of course, some may well prefer other types of presentation more.
There are actually a couple of good reviews online plus lots of comments by users.Haven't heard the UxII so can't help you there.
