Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences?

This integrated seems real interesting - have you heard it?

Have you heard it with a turntable as source, using its phono stage?

A concern for me is that they chose 50 ohm for the fixed MC value (usually it's 100 ohms to accommodate most carts) - I have a Shelter Harmony that states 'within 100 ohms'...I wonder how that would affect the sound (I think not much, but...)...anyways, please share if you have any experiences of this amp...MANY thanks and Happy New Year to you all!

Anyone using the Yamaha ASXXXX as a power amp with an outboard Pre?

Just curious how that works out. I have a tube Rogue RP-5 that I just love

I have not hear the Yamaha nor the Luxman, but wanted to point out that they are kind of natural competitors for features and price, so I'd recommend the comparisons.

@aberyclark  I am considering it with a PS Audio BHK pre.  I'm wondering if I can eek out a bit more definition and air (and add a smidge of warmth to my B&Ws).
