Me, myself, I'm always looking for a bargain, so I never, ever buy new. I always purchase pre-owned. For the past over 20 years, whenever I was in need of all things high end audio, I usually am able to find great deals at one of the following websites (primarily): Audiogon, HiFi Shark, US Audiomart and Ebay. On occasion, I'll fid a great deal at an Audio dealer, even if it's in another state.
