I wanted to keep this under my hat until the gear arrived safely, and it has.
 I was fortunate enough to get these Yamaha Centennial Edition componants. MX-10000 amp CX-10000 pre-amp CDX-10000 CD player The 1st pics are posted on AK |

AK forces registration to view images, so could you post them here for the number of us who cannot see them there?
In the meanwhile, The Vintage Knob doth provide and... Cripes are those lookers.  CX-10000 CDX-10000 And the Centennial Edition Reference Site. Awesome, very awesome. Where's that blasted emoticon for an instance such as this....   I'm beginning to strongly suspect that you starting to get one of the finer Yamaha collections in the country. - JP -------------------- After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

The more I read, the more I'm in awe. That gear cost ~$20000 back in 1987 and I've no doubt it all is as good as combinations costing much more today. I think you've hit it, that near mythical ceiling where it's just not practically possible to upgrade beyond.
Yes, pictures are a necessity. - JP -------------------- After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Pic of MX-10000 (there is damage to the right lower corner of the faceplate of the MX-10000, and it's obvious that it occured during shipping)

Sure looks like it will sound better than Dingus´s Sonic T amp..
 Mark, that is some gear. The kind that, most likely was sold mostly in Japan only. Awesome stuff, just awesome. St´s staff and members demand in-depth reviews asap.  Jorge |

Better than the Sonic T? What do you think Scott? According to the Yamaha 10000 site that JP provided a link to, Yamaha manufactured ~ 500 of each componant, and I'm sure most of them are in Japan. Despite the dent to the corner of the MX-10000 I'm ecstatic with these. That dent will need to be touched up, and any suggestions are welcome. I am not rushing to do anything to it. Although none of these pieces are pristine - there are little dings and scratches on all of them - they are still beautiful. I never thought there was any chance that I'd be able to have these in my system.  They are simply amazing pieces. Many more pics (including nudies of course) and commentary to follow! |
