Trade off? New vs used

Tough choices, would love to get a quality $30k preamp for a used price, eg Ayre Kx-r 20.

so do I get a new Audio Research ref 6se for $17k or get a comparably priced $28k preamp used for about same price?

Whatever you are considering has to work well in the context of your system, room, and musical preferences. Emergingsoul, where do you live?
