New vs uses in your current setup


Curious the ratio new to used/demo in your current system comprised of. 
I’m equally split on a “per box” basis although I tend to look for used cables almost exclusively.

Interesting topic.  Stirred up some cobwebs in the way-back machine.

As a retired dealer/speaker nerd, all of the source components, cables, and amplification in my system are discarded demo gear, and rep samples.  "Hey, Mr. EAT rep: That's a nice turntable.  When it's done making the rounds in the territory, send it my way."  So, technically, ALL used.  With a full factory warranty.

On the other hand, I designed and built my own speakers from 100% new parts -- raw drivers, caps, coils, etc..  After 35 years they are well past the "gently used" classification, and solidly "used/vintage."

Thanks for the topic.
