Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views?

@theophile 

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.

Where is the 2500 Euro one? If you are talking about this:

It was listed in 2021.

I do have friends all over the world dover. Would I direct someone interested in their gear to their auction or sale site. Yes. Am I doing it this time. No.

The OP is interested in the model. They aren’t regularly listed anywhere which is why you cannot provide us with another link to an alternative seller. If the OP is interested I’m sure he will inspect HiFi Shark and consider or reject the listing. I will also direct him to Japan Yahoo site.

There is no HX-10000 on Yahoo Japan

Woops dover got bent over.

For 1000 euro even I might be tempted.

I frequently cruise audio salons in Tokyo where often great used gear is displayed alongside new stuff. I’ve never seen one of these for sale, but then again I never knew it existed until now so might have overlooked one for sale.
