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.

Are both preamps the same ?   Model, vintage ?

If price is the same, then the warranty is free.  I would verify the guarantor of the warranty....dealer (good luck), factory (great).

If the price drops on one of the units, then weigh how much a warranty is worth to you.
