It's ur money, I'll take a pet free, smoke free, children free piece of gear over the alternative every single time...
Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?
I agree that I do not want a preamp or speaker coated with a film of smoke, but I am confused as to what a child or pet could do that would not be otherwise visible. You would see the cat scratches on the speaker grill, the dog chew marks on the rack, the iguana turds in the amplifier cooling vents. And what's a little dog hair among friends? As a 3 year old, I supposedly put my finger through my grandfather's new DIY speaker but I'm pretty sure he replaced the drivers so even that doesn't really matter. Most things will be visible and/or easily remedied. Maybe the price will even be a little lower because of the cosmetics. If it doesn't mess with function, not a big deal to me.
What concerns me more is does it come from a drunk-free, drug-free home. I think befuddled owners are far more worrisome than pets or children.

@audphile1 I can't stop laughing. I'm hiding all transformers in the closet tonight. No Papua here. 😁 |
I almost sold nothing of all the pieces i bought, save two pieces. I had kids and pets... And anyway i modified all my gear pieces, even headphones, save the speakers Tannoy i sold and the tube amps...😊 i cannot sell anything of the system i used... My 2 akg headphones are modified , the speakers also... I can sell the two dacs and the two chinese amplifiers, there is no internal modifications... I never sold my books or cd... I gave them or put then in trash... I dont like the trouble it takes to sell ... 😊 I am not rich but i dont need money...
