Clearaudio Master Reference - impressions?

I'm going to be offered this great-looking source at a very nice price soon (it is used), but I know pretty much nothing about it and I've never heard it play. What I know so far is that it's a "complete" setup with the Clearaudio Goldfinger pickup.

Does anybody own this table or have heard it and comment on the sound and what you played it with (e.g. phono stage, pickup and the rest of the system) ? How would it stack up to current stuff in the $10-20k range? (with arm & pickup, but excluding phono stage)

Any input would be most welcome, thanks! :)
