New vs uses in your current setup


Curious the ratio new to used/demo in your current system comprised of. 
I’m equally split on a “per box” basis although I tend to look for used cables almost exclusively.

My K340 are vintage and used...

I doubt that there exist something really better on all count at any price anyway...

And if it exist i paid it less than 100 bucks...

 

my Sansui alpha is a TOP vintage Sansui...  But it is way easier to beat it than my headphone so good it is and it is at 300 bucks ...

 

I was busy understanding how to make a system/roo0m sound good not by the gear as such... Each one of us ordinary mortalk has a budget...

 

 

everything is new except my subwoofers and monoblock amps which I repurposed from my immersive setup that I had to downsize from @cantorgale 

Turntable, including arm, cartridge and phono stage bought second hand last year, but partially upgraded with new components.

Pretty well everything else bought new, although up to 25 years old in case of power amps, cables and loudspeakers.

So I’d say approximately 20% used.

 

 

 

Started out on craigslist and accessories4less.com. At this point, I trust my dealers advice.
