Do you buy new, used or new or used gear?

I prefer to buy equipment new or used based on how fast the technology is changing. Amps and dynamic speakers tend to be pretty mature tech so buying used works for me. Digital, power conditioners and cables are all evolving pretty rapidly and I am too impatient to wait for used gear. It is in these areas where I lose money (have to add new money to the hobby).

Pretty much exclusively preowned. I don't get the impulse to own the latest & greatest. Usually purchase well taken care of electronics 8-10yo and speakers, well my oldest set is 60 this year lol.

I have bought both new and used in the past but my current system which I have acquired in the past 7 years is all new except for some headphones which were demo units. 

Speakers and amp (the expensive stuff) used. Streamer, turntable, headphones and subs (the less expensive stuff) new.  Records (the repetitive stuff) 80/20 used/new   

In the early days 1970's, 1980's and 1990's I had new gear.  By the mid 2000's it became a combination of new and used gear, and remains that way to this very day. 👍
