Usd to buy new in 70s and 80s because reliability was poor. Everything in last 20 years has been used given the ~30-60% savings from new and quality of build.
I always listen first and try to deal with reputable seller/dealer. It’s was very easy in Chicago but realize this is harder in smaller markets.
Some great deals I remember:
Pioneer SA9500 amp for 100
Denon 2910 universal CD player for 100 ( still sounds great)
paradigm Studio 20 speakers for 300
audio refinement complete amp and CD for 1000
YBA is integre DT amp for 1500
McIntosh MA5200 for 3100
Sonus Fabre Auditor Ms for 3000
B&W CDM7SE speakers for 1000
REL Strada III sub for 900
just a few I can remember the prices on.
Even if I had twice or three times the money I would stick with used.
That way I can buy and sell more often which is the whole point of this game. Right?
oh ya, and the great sounds that make life worth living.
