I'd go with the manufacture date as well. If the "refurb" unit was a dealer demo, having working in some high end dealers in the past, most of the equipment on our floor had LOTS of hours on them, most turned "on" in the morning, left "on" all day, six days a week. Back in the day I bought a "demo" NAD receiver which developed a left channel out problem, and the "warranty" the dealer gave me was worthless, they never fixed that problem.
Two preamps are available....
Question: Two preamps are available for sale on Audiogon.....both are listed at the same, identical price.
One is factory refurbished and "as new" with manufacturer's warranty from an Audiogon dealer and the other is in 9/10 condition from a private seller. Both sellers have excellent feedback.
- Which one would you buy and why?
- What are your positives and negatives about units that are factory refurbished?
Thanks.
