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.

If its as reputable company the refurbished would be thoroughly checked over before put back in the box.  With usual quality control it will be checked,  but not always as much as a refurbished unit.  At least, that was how it was when I worked for a turntable company years ago.  The quality check can be more intensified with a refurbished unit.
