New vs uses in your current setup

Only two pieces were bought new for me my speakers and my power distributor everything else was used or demo.

All used otherwise I wouldn’t have the system I have today .

To my own amazement, 95% new.  Including some dealer demos sent back to MFG for refurb and came back basically new with packaging. All purchased at significant discounts and with substantial trade in discounts.  I've built up a low six figure system over sixty years buying and then upgrading products from companies like Wilson, Conrad-Johnson, Wireworld, Shunyata, Audioquest and dCS.  My dealer relationships are extremely valuable to me and have allowed this equipment accumulation over time. Dealer advise has been excellent, with the exception of one speaker purchase. But the trade in terms were excellent when I swapped them out.  Good advise sure beats disappointing purchases later sold and bought again.  Thanks to my four or so strong dealer relationships for your help with advise I sometimes didn't want to hear.

Not counting cables, mostly new but B-stock. Current components were put together mostly with trades, so there were significant discounts.
