Would you spend you money on modest brand new car or rather buy top notch vintage one?

No, this discussion is not about cars, however it's by comparison related to audiophiles.  As I see it, most audiophiles don't have the means of affording the top notch, new,  improved (maybe), audio gears. So, would you buy moderately priced new or rather buy top notch used equipment for the same money?

Agree with hilde45. It depends on the situation and what you're looking for.

On that subject, I found this ad on USAM listed as a 10. This amp is between 28 and 32 years old depending on when it was manufactured. He says it's perfect, but I can clearly see a few small stains on the faceplate which is really not the point.

I messaged the guy and had a back and forth about the grading being improper for a used amp of this age and in the end, he dropped it to a 9. I think that the best that you can call an amp of that age is a 7. What do you guys think?
