Would you buy a piece of gear with a defect?


I'm auditioning a Parasound JC2 pre amp that the left input on channel 1 does not work. Would you buy it as is? How much should this reduce the price of the unit? Everything else seems fine. I'm wondering if folks will buy defective gear? The asking price is $1500 as is. Opinions?

Thanks in advance.

if it's just one input one channel, its likely something bad between the rca jack and the switch, and likely easily fixed.  I'd worry a lot more if one channel didn't work on all inputs.

Any competent tech could diagnose and most probably fix it.

If it were me, I'd go for it, especially if I didn't need all inputs immediately.
